Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith Calls Utah Amnesty "Illegal"
Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 11:55 AM EDT



In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) has branded Utah's guest worker amnesty "illegal" and expressed dismay at Attorney General Holder's apparent refusal to enforce the law in Utah when he has been so quick to oppose Arizona's interior enforcement laws. Rep. Smith wrote:

Your silence regarding the Utah law stands in stark contrast to your early condemnation of the Arizona law that instituted a state immigration enforcement scheme … If the Administration is serious about having a uniform immigration policy rather than the ‘patchwork’ of state immigration laws you profess to oppose, then the Administration needs to take action against the Utah law.

Under normal circumstances, the Justice Department should take legal action against the Utah law for usurping Congress’ constitutional authority to determine national immigration policy. But it is even more important to do so during these tough economic times. Jobs are scarce and families are worried. The most vulnerable American workers have been especially hard hit by the ongoing jobs recession.

If you choose not to seek action against the Utah law, it will be perceived that you are basing your decisions on your own policy preferences rather than on constitutional principle. We would be able to gather that the Administration’s definition for ‘patchwork of immigration enforcement’ is limited to those who seek to enforce federal immigration law and does not include those who seek to undermine it. For the sake of consistency, it is time to end the double standard.

The agenda of traitor! You know it I know it!
Holders one of them. I wish letters made a difference with The Obama
administration. Nappy, Holder and sleazy and slimy but their agenda
is clear. A third word America on welfare!
Voted by and for the Laraza chosen ones/ Illegal aliens and their tax
payer (US) funded offspring!

Someone In our Congress FINALLY spoke up and stated the obvious I really hope that Obama and Holder DO NOTHING with regard to the Utah law. That way when the Arizona law goes before the Supreme Court, the FEDS will not have a leg to stand on. It will be blatantly obvious that the only reason that they sued Arizona was for political purposes,and In fact had nothing to do with upsurping Federal authority with regard to Immigration. It's OK for Utah to break Federal law because It fits In with the far lefts political agenda,but alas poor Arizona.... They get slapped down because their new law may actually force Illegals out of our country,and they cannot allow that to happen because they will loose their ENTIRE VOTING BASE In a great big hurry They just thumb their nose at their own American citizens and let the Illegals run wild throughout the United States. TS

Yes! You are correct ts! If Holders holding out then why?
Obama love the pseudo amnesty!
