Thread: Congressman Brian Bilbray leads support for Arizona Immigrat

Congressman Brian Bilbray leads support for Arizona Immigration Law

Submitted by Michael Cerkas on 2010-07-26

At first glance, it appears that all the domestic exposure (and now international) Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has attracted regarding the states new Illegal Immigration legislation, began when she signed it into state law on Friday, April 23, 2010. In stark reality, this story began years ago and has bubbled up since then to where it is now; a political quagmire that has boiled over and needs to be cleaned up.

Both the Clinton and Bush administrations had passed immigration legislation that added enforcement to border security and subsequently increased the exposure to the issue of illegal immigration. Adding to Arizona’s challenge, by default, the increased border security led to a funneling effect of illegal immigration traffic toward Arizona's largely unsecured border.

Arizona’s new Immigration law, scheduled to go into effect this Thursday, July 29, 2010, has been challenged by the United States Government (Department of Justice) via a lawsuit. Soon after the DOJ filing, the following groups each filed separate lawsuits against the law:

• The ACLU
• The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders
• Chicanos por la Causa
• The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
• The League of United Latin American Citizens and Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law
• A Tucson Police Officer
• A Washington-based Researcher

At best, these lawsuits represent a disorganized and confusing challenge to the Arizona law. In response to these lawsuits, several private, anonymous donors have contributed more than $1.2 million dollars toward Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s legal defense fund. Additionally, California Congressman, Representative Brian Bilbray, leads a group of congressional members to file a ‘friend of the court’ brief in support of the Arizona law.

To date, nine (9) states have declared their support for the new Arizona Immigration Law (Texas, Florida, Michigan, South Dakota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina and Alabama). Most prominently, Texas and Florida contribute the most relevance and influence as a result of their geography, size and political clout.

Issues directly and indirectly related to the Arizona Immigration Law include crime, potential for racial profiling, illegal immigrant owned small business closings, illegal immigrant ‘traffic’ back to Mexico and other US states, government welfare and education costs and drug trafficking. Most notably, the 2010 mid-term and 2012 elections will undoubtedly be likewise impacted by the outcome of the DOJ lawsuit and the Immigration Law itself.

Brief for 9 states backs Arizona immigration law

http://www.alipac.us/ftopicp-1089314.html

In that list of States I see NC's neighbors Va and SC, noticeably missing is NC itself!

Thanks Bev, you're so busy giving them them keys to the State the legal citizens are going under. There you are following in Sleasley's footsteps, I hope you will soon be in the same situation Sleasley is in! Your legal citizens DO NOT want to be known as sanctuary givers!

ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE TO KNOW THAT WE AMERICANS WILL NOT ACCEPT THE STATUS QUO. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. ILLEGALS COME HERE WITHOUT VISAS OR OVERSTAY. THEREFORE, THEY DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS. THEY HAVE TO BE DEPORTED NOW. NO AMNESTY. NEVER.

My God, how did I miss this earlier??? Florida has tons of illegals, never thought MY state would back another state on immigration! Gee I am thrilled, but WHO in Florida actually is doing the backing??? LOL

Three of the attorneys general involved are running for governor this year: Cox, Bill McCollum in Florida and Tom Corbett in Pennsylvania. All are Republicans.
