Reaction to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling upholding injunction on key parts of SB 1070 By Howard Fischer, Capitol Media Services East Valley Tribune | 5 comments

We expected -- almost could predict -- such a thing from the liberal makeup of the 9th Circuit, the most overturned court in the nation. We'll move on to the Supreme Court where I suspect that we'll have a much better success rate. -- Senate President and SB 1070 author Russell Pearce.

This ruling makes it that much harder for us to protect the citizenry from illegal immigration and the crime that goes with it. While the federal government spends resources on fighting us rather than illegal immigration, it demands that we foot the bill for their failure to secure the border in the form of health care, social services, and law enforcement costs. -- Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever

The 9th Circuit decision stands as a strong warning to any state that is still considering enacting its own unconstitutional regulation of immigration by replicating or expanding upon Arizona's ill-fated SB 1070.ÿ Such legislation will only invite costly litigation that will inevitably result in the unconstitutional laws being struck down. -- Thomas Saenz, president, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Foundation

I note that the 9th Circuit relied heavily on the opposition of foreign governments in upholding the injunction on two of the four elements. As the dissent by Judge Carlos T. Bea eloquently stated, foreign governments should not be given a ?heckler?s veto? to establish preemption by the federal government over the state. -- Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne

This law created local and national shock waves by turning Arizona into the 'show me your papers' state. We applaud the court?s decision to continue the temporary injunction, which prevents the state from mandating racial profiling and harassment of Arizonans. -- Jennifer Allen, executive director, Border Action Network

This decision to uphold the injunction against SB1070 is another victory for the community and residents of Arizona.ÿ It?s proves the constitution still works and that justice will continue to prevail over divisive political distractions like SB1070.ÿ -- Petra Falcon, executive director, Promise Arizona

It?s unfortunate that a few elected officials in Arizona will continue trying to win implementation of this divisive law. Arizona should drop this expensive and distracting legal challenge and focus on the issues that matter most to Arizonans: jobs, healthcare and education. -- Marissa Garciosa, director, Fair Immigration Reform Movement

You can?t have 50 different immigration policies. We are still one nation.ÿ Congress and the U.S.ÿ Attorney General have jurisdiction in law enforcement matters.ÿ Judge Susan Bolton was clearly correct in her very careful decision. Now a higher court has affirmed her ruling. We need to move on. -- Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Willcox

Arizona?s SB 1070 has been bad for business, communities, and law enforcement?just like other state and local initiatives that have attempted to control illegal immigration. The Center for American Progress?s analysis focusing exclusively on conference cancellations in Arizona resulting from the anti-immigrant legislation found a loss of $141 million in direct spending by convention attendees and more than a quarter billion dollars in lost economic output. -- Angela Kelley, vice president, Center for American Progress

So, we now have Mexicans telling us Americans what laws are good for our Country?

methinks Thomas Saenz is too sexy for his sombrero!

Whats happening in this country is beyond being shameful. those who are celebrating this ruling from the 9th circuit are in essence saying, "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" has no right to even have any immigration laws. but it is A-OK for Mexico and other spanish speaking countries to have and enforce their own immigration laws. this country is nothing more than a joke to the rest of the world and thats the truth. this act alone is going to be the final nail in Obama's re-election coffin

BTW, this is what happens when there are millions and millions of anchor babies running around in the country they grow up and start turning their backs on the country that was dumb enough to give them birthright citizenship (which they should have never been given) and, welfare benefits just because their parents stole their way into this country.[/i][/b]

One can only hope...Join us in calling for Obama's Impeachment: http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-234448.html

And Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Willcox is a POS...Pardon my French! She along with Mayor Phil Gordon love Illegals an she doesn't have a lily white record herself.

It would appear so considering the majority of quotes above are from Pro-Illegal Supporters...

Just Remember: THEY MAY WIN THE BATTLES, BUT WE WILL WIN THE WAR IF WE ALL KEEP FIGHTING!!!
