SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS CONTROVERSIAL IMMIGRATION LAW - WHAT ARE YOUR COMMENTS? ---------------------------------------- Oh we need to "STOP THE ILLEGALS"!!!!!! (I hope the picture below comes out in this post. But if not it is attached.) Jim "And all those who are decendants of European immigrants to the United States or are themselves immigrants from Europe to the United States are ILLEGAL unless they have premission (Written Premission) from American Indians (Indigenous People) and unless they carry with them at all times such Written Permission to enter America from American Indians Indigenous people. But since most (and/or many) of the immigrants to the United States from Mexico and Central and South America have Indian (Indigenous People) blood then they are legal immigrants to the United States."

The supreme court has upheld an Arizona law allowing the state to punish firms that hire illegal immigrants. Photograph: David Kadlubowski/Corbis - Guardian UK Mark Sherman reports: "The Supreme Court has sustained Arizona's law that penalizes businesses for hiring workers who are in the United States illegally, rejecting arguments that states have no role in immigration matters. "By a 5-3 vote, the court said Thursday that federal immigration law gives states the authority to impose sanctions on employers who hire unauthorized workers. "The decision upholding the validity of the 2007 law comes as the state is appealing a ruling that blocked key components of a second, more controversial Arizona immigration enforcement law. Thursday's decision applies only to business licenses and does not signal how the high court might rule if the other law comes before it. "Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a majority made up of Republican-appointed justices, said the Arizona's employer sanctions law 'falls well within the confines of the authority Congress chose to leave to the states.' "Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, all Democratic appointees, dissented. The fourth Democratic appointee, Justice Elena Kagan, did not participate in the case because she worked on it while serving as President Barack Obama's solicitor general "Breyer said the Arizona law upsets a balance in federal law between dissuading employers from hiring illegal workers and ensuring that people are not discriminated against because they may speak with an accent or look like they might be immigrants. "Employers 'will hesitate to hire those they fear will turn out to lack the right to work in the United States,' he said. "Business interests and civil liberties groups challenged the law, backed by the Obama administration." Supreme Court upholds controversial immigration law - what are your comments? Greg Dempsey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SECULARHUMANIST/ Voice of the People ======= Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Law Penalizing Businesses For Hiring Illegal Immigrants By MARK SHERMAN 05/26/11 10:54 AM ET AP WASHINGTON -- The measure was signed into law in 2007 by Democrat Janet Napolitano, then the governor of Arizona and now the administration's Homeland Security secretary. The employer sanctions law has been only infrequently used. It was intended to diminish Arizona's role as the nation's hub for immigrant smuggling by requiring employers to verify the eligibility of new workers through a federal database. Employers found to have violated the law can have their business licenses suspended or revoked. Lower courts, including the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, previously upheld the law. The case is Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting, 09-115.
