At last reason prevails

Judge denies injunction during appeal of ariz. sanctions ruling

PHOENIX (AP) - A federal judge has rejected a request by business groups to put Arizona's employer sanctions law on hold while the groups appeal a ruling that upheld the law.

In rejecting the injunction request, U.S. District Judge Neil Wake ruled Tuesday that the business groups didn't have a probability of succeeding in their appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The law prohibits businesses from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants and imposes business license penalties for violators. The business groups are seeking to overturn the law.

The judge also says one factor in his latest decision was that the depression of wages for legal workers from illegal immigrants is far greater than the minimal costs of employers complying with the law.

Wake says putting the law on hold during the appeal would diminish the deterrent effect that employers sanctions have already achieved

This is how it should be , There is no reason not to allow these laws to remain in effect until the one bringing the suits proves or has their case denied

Judge Wake is a hero in my book
