It appears that Obama and company would rather represent Illegals than than enforce the Laws.

Hopefully, it will reinforce Alabama's tough stance against Illegals and turn around to bite oBlowme in the buttocks.

The federal government is again taking a state to court, this time suing Alabama for a tough immigration law even further-reaching than Arizona's SB 1070 last year.

"Today's action makes clear that setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration laws is a national responsibility that cannot be addressed through a patchwork of state immigration laws," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "The department is committed to evaluating each state immigration law and making decisions based on the facts and the law. To the extent we find state laws that interfere with the federal government's enforcement of immigration law, we are prepared to bring suit, as we did in Arizona."

The complaint says legal immigrants, visitors and U.S. citizens may face harassment under the law if police mistake them for illegal immigrants and they are unable to immediately prove their status--the same argument the federal government made and won in Arizona last year.

It also argues that undocumented students may be discouraged from enrolling in school under the law, which requires school officials to check the immigration status of each student. The Supreme Court has already ruled that it's illegal to discourage any child, regardless of immigration status, from attending school.

The law "is designed to affect virtually every aspect of an unauthorized immigrant's daily life, from employment to housing to transportation to entering into and enforcing contracts to going to school," the Justice Department said.

A coalition of civil rights group has already filed a class-action against the state, asking a judge to block the law from taking effect. The Mexican government praised the Justice Department for filing suit.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley campaigned on getting the toughest immigration law in the country passed. State representative Micky Hammon called the law "a jobs-creation bill for Americans," even as some school officials criticized the statute for requiring them to act as immigration agents.

South Carolina became the fifth state this year to pass a law cracking down on illegal immigration, following Utah, Indiana, Georgia, and Alabama. All of those statutes have faced court challenges, though Alabama is the first state this year to face a federal challenge over its immigration law.

I think Jan Brewer will send 1070 to the SCOTUS later this year. Its unbelievable that our own government would fight this. Definitely tells ya who democrats side with. Has nothing to do with federal law, but has everything to do with future voters.

I think I've changed my mind on the mojados. I've come to consider them more as refugees than as invaders. seems like they have a choice. either join the cartels and prolly get killed or come north where it's safe

Correction, Brewer has until Wednesday to appeal it to the SCOTUS.

These people have been coming here criminally for decades and while the cartels have always been around o its only in the 15 years that they have gotten completely out of control so them being refugees doesn't fly with me.
