Obama Administration to File Suit Against Arizona Immigration Law

Published June 18, 2010

The Obama administration will file suit to challenge Arizona's immigration law, an official told Fox News on Friday.

The confirmation comes after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview earlier this month that the administration would challenge the law in court, though officials had long said the issue was under review.

An official told Fox News on Friday that the Department of Justice
is still reviewing the law to build the administration's case -- but that the decision has already been made that a suit will be filed.

Kind of like voting before reading a bill?

Normal for 'them', isn't it?

I wonder if any of the imbeciles ever read the Arizona SB 1070 yet?

How sad that Governor Brewer finds out about this from the media, and from Hillary Clinton, while in another country. She has also not heard back in regards to her request for troops in Arizona, discussed two weeks ago at the White House.

The Federal Government will not enforce our laws, and they will sue anyone who attempts to do so, apparently. We have a traitorous government, nothing like what our founders intended. Our government is corrupt, and the ones now in charge want as many illegal aliens and foreign citizens to overwhelm our system of governance, and to have a new form of rule and government.

We also have learned that Hispanics are getting 6 votes in some area, per a judge's ruling. There are also seventeen military Afghans, now AWOL, running around, doing who knows what. Some were learning to fly. The whereabouts of six are supposedly known, but who do we trust anymore? One of these people is now a legal resident of the United States.

Where is good reason, the rule of law, and a functioning government, looking out for the best interests of the United States?

UPDATE:



The Obama administration will file suit to challenge Arizona's immigration law, an official told Fox News on Friday.

The confirmation comes after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview with a TV station in Ecuador earlier this month that the administration would challenge the law in court, though officials had long said the issue was under review.

Administration officials initially would not confirm Clinton's statement. But an official told Fox News on Friday that while the review is still underway, the decision has already been made that a Department of Justice suit will be filed. The administration at this point is just building its case.

Clinton's announcement was met with outrage Thursday by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law. Brewer told Fox News she's ready for a fight.

"What a disappointment," Brewer told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren on Thursday, saying she was shocked the administration would make such an announcement on foreign TV without giving Arizona officials the news first.

"We are not going to back away from this issue," Brewer said. "We are going to pursue it, we're going to be very aggressive," Brewer said. "We'll meet them in court ... And we will win."

She added: "The population of America agrees with Arizona."

In the TV interview, Clinton was asked how the Obama administration was handling the debate over the law when she gave away what may have been an administration secret.

"President Obama has spoken out against the law because he thinks that the federal government should be determining immigration policy. And the Justice Department, under his direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against the act," the secretary of state responded, before calling for comprehensive immigration reform.

Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have both criticized the Arizona law, but the administration had maintained to that point that its attorneys were reviewing the legislation to determine the next step.

Clinton was in Latin America last week for the general assembly of the Organization of American States in Peru.

A State Department spokesman said at the time that the department would defer to the Justice Department "on what legal steps are available."

"The president and Secretary (Clinton) have said clearly that the administration opposes the Arizona law," spokesman Andy Laine said. "A number of leaders in the region have raised the issue with the United States. It came up during her recent trip to South America. As the secretary said, a better solution is comprehensive immigration reform."

Fox News' Mike Levine contributed to this report.

What else would he recommend with former La Raza director Cecilia Muñoz working as a top White House Official, and top LaRaza member and former Congresswoman Hilda Solis on his Cabinet?

Like I said before, Jan Brewer needs to sue Obama for not protecting Arizona from a foreign invasion as the Constitution he swore to uphold requires.

No surprise to anyone.
