As the chairman of the Yes on Prop 200 Committee, I learned firsthand how the courts worked and that what the attorneys for La Raza, ACLU and MALDEF argued in press conferences had no standing in a court of law. Similar to Proposition 200 and many other immigration laws passed, adjudicated and now enforced in Arizona, the new immigration law was drafted to concur with the federal law.

Its real intent is to require cities to enforce federal immigration laws at the local level.

The law starts with the following statement: “No official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may limit or restrict the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law.â€
