How can one cripple policies and enforcement efforts which do not exist?
FYI
Well, the official policy is to NOT enforce immigration laws or protect the border. So ENFORCING the laws cripples the policy of non-enforcement.
But truthfully, the federal government will have a very hard time with this case. First, they are alleging that the law differs from federal law, which it does not. Second, they would have to prove that enforcing a law that is virtually identical to federal law inhibits the ability of the federal government to do it.
This is a likely to fail miserably since the states have hundreds of laws similar to but slightly different from federal law. Arizona would do well to argue that point and to say that if they cannot pass this law that reinforces federal law, then ALL state laws similar to federal laws, such as bank robbery or counterfeiting, are null.
Its funny the BO justice dept is saying that the Virginia lawsuit against the healthcare bill is not valid because the law isn’t even in effect yet. BUt they have no problem filing a lawsuit against a law that isn’t in effect either.
Someone needs to be DISBARRED.
