Key Parts of Discriminatory Arizona Immigration Law Blocked

Phoenix, AZ (July 28) – Earlier today, a federal court judge blocked portions of Arizona’s Immigration law, as protestors lined busy streets, highways, and overpasses around the nation.

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton ruled two parts of the controversial immigration law requiring police to determine immigration status of people they encounter on the highways and byways of Arizona as well as, charging persons not carrying immigration documentation with a crime, to cease and desist their actions immediately.

In her opinion, Judge Bolton wrote, “The federal government’s ability to enforce its policies and achieve its objectives will be undermined by the state’s enforcement of statutes that interfere with federal law.”

The order was issued just as large groups of organized protestors gathered in Los Angeles preparing to travel to the Phoenix area on Thursday; the date Arizona’s statute 1070 was to become law. Officials in Arizona were bracing for possible violence and other disrupted activities beginning Thursday and to last for an unknown period of time, associated with the massive planned protests.

The Obama administration had already filed legal action to reverse the state’s decision on the opinion that only the federal government has jurisdiction over these matters.

Sherriff ‘Joe’, the legendary wannabe cowboy of the old mid-west had already planned to expand his outdoor tent jail facility to hold those in violation of the state’s new immigration law. The Sherriff plans on dubbing his new section of the prison, Camp 1070.

It is unknown at this time whether organizers of the scheduled protests, plan to continue with their nationwide campaign at this time. The law in general is to go into effect tomorrow as scheduled however, lacking the two most controversial components of the new law.

    “House Bill 2013” and “SB1070”

    0 = Arizona
    2 = USA/ Our Constitution/ We the People of the United States

    This month of July 2010, our U.S. Federal courts have found the so called State of Arizona hate filled legislation namely “House Bill 2013” and “SB1070” Un-constitution (So much for the intellect of Jan Brewer, “Did you read the bills you signed?”). But we all know that they will go crying to the Supreme Court of the United States, please, please, please go. We will fight you in Arizona, any other state, and yes in Washington DC. We will not tire, we will not be silent and we will persevere, I promise you.

    In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme of clans; the Baggers, Birthers and Blowhards (people who love to push their beliefs and hate on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win in November. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.

    It’s all about politics: Jan Brewer you were never elected to be Governor, but you have no problem trying to get elected on the back of undocumented workers, you loser (sure you may win but the long-term effects to your so called State is just beginning). Here is a partial list of your hate filled legislation;

    1. S.B. 1070,
    2. House Bill 2013
    3. No permit conceal weapons law,
    4. The famous Birthers law,
    5. Banning Ethnic studies law,
    6. Banning human-animal hybrid (aren’t most GOPers crossed with the Reptilian race?)
    or are they just giving Laurence Gonzales, some great promotion material for his new book “Lucy”.

    7. Could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona, ordered to be whiten,
    8. On deck to pass, no citizenship to babies born to undocumented workers,

    9. If she can read she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which was un-constitution and failed when legally challenged),
    10. The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don’t want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it Arizona.

    Well Arizona, you can keep boycotting new holidays, passing hate filled legislation and the rest of our country will continue to challenge you in court of law and Boycott your so-called state.

    Lets face it, no one can real believe anything that comes out of Brewer’s mouth, in an interview, this year, in an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (which ended 1945) but of course we find out the truth that father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are suppose to believe everything else she says, right!

    As they say in the World Cup: Gooooooooal!
