Angst over federal judge’s decision
Challengers plan new law suit, amid cries of “foul!”
The daily is in a near frenzy over U.S. District Judge Neil Wake’s dismissal of the lawsuit challenging Arizona’s Employer Sanctions law last Friday.
Judge Wake’s ruling is available here.
The paper, and the challengers they support, are wringing their collective hands as the January 1, 2008 implementation date nears. In fact, today’s daily has devoted several articles on numerous pages solely to this matter.
Business and Hispanic groups hoping for a different outcome are preparing to file a challenge as early as Monday, in an effort to seek a temporary restraining order.
Yet, according to one report, “Lawyers representing business groups in the case are still telling employers to hold up on signing up for E-Verify, the free, federal on-line employment verification program mandated under the state law.”
The paper is still reeling over Phoenix Mayor “Sanctuary City” Phil Gordon’s policy reversal decision last week allowing police to question suspects about their immigration status. Gordon’s new move has widespread support of the 2,200-member Phoenix Law Enforcement Association.
Also, a ballot measure challenging the birthright citizenship provisions of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment has been filed in the state legislature. The post Civil War Amendment was enacted to provide citizenship to the American-born children of African-born, newly freed slaves. It was never intended to give the gift of American citizenship to an illegal invasion of foreign nationals whose children happen to be born on U.S. soil.
Expect these issues to remain front and center in the coming months.

Since I cancelled my subscription to the sucker & carp daily wrapper, I thank God for the BLOGS of truth and clear vision….SEEING RED, SONORAN ALLIANCE, and AZ CONSERVATIVE. Thanks Guys and Gals from a grateful public. You all do a marvelous job, but don’t look for work at the Chambers of Commerce. Really, they ought to publish the wrapper in Spanish and be done with it. They could even out source it to south of the border.
Who would have believed that the elites of the Democrat and Republican parties would combine forces to aid the alien invasion and undermine our sovereignty and constitution?

Well said, Keen Observer!
I especially like the part in the post quoting the newspaper saying “Lawyers representing business groups in the case are still telling employers to hold up on signing up for E-Verify, the free, federal on-line employment verification program mandated under the state law.”
Let’s tell it like it is. They want nothing more than to gum up the E-Verify program.

My mother is a legal immigrant from Argentina. I have a degree, speak unaccented English as well as Spanish, and support the employer sanctions law. Does that make me an anomaly? Not at all. Quite a few of my American born Mexican friends are also supportive, but very quietly so. They are fearful of incurring the wrath of their nativist friends and family who believe that supporting America and her policies is anti-Latino. My question has always been, what are they doing here if this wonderful country is so repressive?
