Another Obamunist Gambit

"Why can't Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered or remained in the United States?"

The Justice Department is asking Judge Bolton to bar Arizona's immigration law from going into effect next week, but she's having none of it apparently, The Obamunistas are arguing that  federal law pre-empts Arizona's law.  "Where is the pre-emption if everybody who is arrested for some crime has their immigration status checked,"  she asked?

 But, in the next breath she " suggested that making it a state crime to lack immigration documents could violate a Supreme Court ruling  prohibiting states from creating their own "immigration registration systems," (LA TIMES).

Huh?  What do the Obamunists call cities who've enacted "safe havens, " where federal law is flat nullified?  And, how does Arizona's law in any way contradict federal immigration statute in the first case?

Pray that Arizona holds her ground here;  this is a seminal moment in the movement to reclaim our government.

Roi, you took the quote from the Washington Post which means that it is not to be trusted. The Judge actually said "Why can't Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered or remain in the U.S. unlawfully?"

Talk about taking quotes out of context. I also saw the quote ending in the word illegally.

I'm getting a little tired of my side mischaracterizing sanctuary cities. Get it right:

The sanctuary cities do not nullify Federal law because they know they can't. They simply state they will not check immigration status or turn people over to INS even if they know them to be illegal. INS is free to operate on its own but it will get no cooperation from that city.

Stop using that as a counter argument to AZ's 1070, it's not equivalent.

Well ... if AZ can't check immigration status for the purpose of enforcing immigration laws, they can regulate their own citizens.

I think making hiring an illegal, renting a home to an illegal, selling him food, giving him a glass of water, or even talking to him can be made a felony for citizens of the State of Arizona, without tripping on any federal nexus.
