Posted by Dutchrailnut on Mon Jun 25 11:14:29 2012, in response to Arizona immigration STRUCK DOWN, posted by bingbong on Mon Jun 25 10:27:12 2012. The Supreme Court upheld a key part of Arizona's tough anti-illegal immigration law in a 5-3 decision on Monday that allows police officers to ask about immigration status during stops. That part of the law, which never went into effect because of court challenges, will now immediately be enforced in Arizona. Other parts of the law, including a provision that made it a state crime for illegal immigrants to seek work, will remain blocked, as the justices affirmed the federal government's supremacy over immigration policy.Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's swing vote, wrote the opinion, and was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor. Conservative Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas partially dissented, saying the entire law should have been upheld. In the opinion, Justice Kennedy wrote that the federal government's "power to determine immigration policy is well settled." But he also showed concern for what he described as Arizona's outsize burden in dealing with illegal immigration, seeming to sympathize with their decision to butt in on immigration enforcement. "Arizona bears many of the consequences of unlawful immigration," he wrote. "Hundreds of thousands of deportable aliens are apprehended in Arizona each year." But, ultimately, the justices found that Arizona can not mete out their own state punishments for federal immigration crimes. "Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration while that process continues, but the State may not pursue policies that undermine federal law," Kennedy writes in the opinion's conclusion. The police immigration checks are allowed, however, because state police would simply flag federal authorities if they find an illegal immigrant. The Obama administration sued to block Arizona's law, called SB1070, shortly after it passed two years ago, saying it interfered with federal authority over immigration. The law made it a state crime for illegal immigrants to seek work or fail to carry proper immigration papers. It also requires police officers to check immigration status and make warrantless arrests for immigration crimes in some cases. A federal judge prevented those aspects of the law from going into effect, but the law became a lightning rod around the country, sparking boycotts and counter-boycotts and opening up a debate about the nation's illegal immigrant population. In oral arguments in April, many of the justices seemed deeply skeptical of the government's argument that local police officers would interfere with federal authority over immigration law they began asking people about their immigration status during stops. Though much of the debate around the law has focused on "racial profiling"--whether Hispanic people would be stopped and questioned by police based on their ethnicity--the government did not even mention those words in their case against the law, instead focusing on the federal government's supremacy in immigration matters. Justices repeatedly criticized the government's argument against immigration checks. Even Sonia Sotomayor, part of the court's liberal wing, said she was "terribly confused" by the government's argument against the checks. But the liberal justices showed much more hesitation over the parts of the law that made federal immigration crimes into state crimes, which have all now been struck down. Sotomayor singled out the state law against illegal immigrants seeking work, noting that Congress had explicitly rejected a similar law in their immigration legislation, instead choosing to target employers who hire unauthorized workers. . |

They can ask but cannot act upon any information unless they arrest for a significant crime. The decision also struck down the requirement to carry papers at all times as well, so the entire issue is moot. The court also stated that they expect to see additional challenges to the upheld provisions. It's as if they made a stupid, by their own admission, compromise in order to effectively strike down the whole thing. |

They weren't overturned, they simply said it's the federal governments job to enforce those laws. One provision was affirmed, that being allowing the police to check immigration status as they do for other things, like criminal records or warrants. That's a HUGE victory for border security advocates.It's now harder to be an illegal immigrant in AZ today than it was yesterday. |

They are NOT allowed to arrest for immigration violations. They are not allowed to ask for papers, nor is anyone required to carry them.The only significant action they can do is check immigration status on suspects arrested for actual crime. That is the only point where that stupid law has any teeth. Immigration enforcement is the Federal government's job. This affirms it. |

No, until hundreds do and none speaking French do. You need a pattern, and one doesn't exist with a single example.It will be hard for people to assert profiling if the process is applied to all those involved. That a majority speak Spanish won't be relevant unless someone shows that other immigrant groups are not being treated the same. |

Local AZ law enforcement is limited to checking immigration status of suspects. They are NOT allowed to act on that information. They are NOT allowed to arrest anyone for being in the country illegally.So let's say for argument's sake (although this will never happen).... You are driving a carload of illegal immigrants who are in AZ to pick strawberries. You are caught speeding. You get a ticket. The end. Nothing more can happen as your passengers are not required to carry papers (you forgot about THAT important piece of the decision) nor do they have to answer the police per the 5th Amendment. Even if they answer the police and provide names or ID if requested, they cannot arrest them. or do anything, as they have not broken any AZ laws. |
