Arizona Immigration Law Blocked
July 28, 2010
A judge has blocked most of Arizona’s new immigration law from taking effect Thursday, handing a major legal victory to opponents of the crackdown.
The watered down law will still take place on Thursday, but without the parts that angered opponents — including the parts that required officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.
The judge also stopped the parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is credited with stopping the worst parts of the law.
The problem many had with this law, is that it’s not a state that can decide foreign policy, but rather that comes from Washington DC.
Currently the parts that were blocked were mostly “put on hold” rather than removed, no doubt this will continue though the legal system for some time.
