How significant was Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn's ruling upholding key sections of Alabama's H.B. 56 immigration law? Well, just ask the New York Times, which flipped out over it in their lead editorial:

A federal judge has upheld most of Alabama’s new immigration law, the nation’s harshest and most radical attempt to harness a state’s power to find and punish illegal immigrants. The consequences for Alabamans will be serious — not just for the undocumented, but for their blameless citizen children, for those who are mistaken for unauthorized immigrants and for farmers and other business owners ensnared in the law.

"Harsh", "radical", "find...punish", "unauthorized immigrants". Read enough of the Times' editorial and you might actually forget that illegal immigration is, well, ILLEGAL.

While the Times is relieved that Judge Blackburn suspended (pending trial) sections making it a crime to "harbor or transport" illegals, barring illegals from public universities, and preventing day laborers from seeking work, they spared no hyperbole to describe the sections she upheld which do no more than uphold Federal immigration laws on the books:

But her mixed ruling was most discouraging for what survived. Judge Blackburn upheld the “papers, please” section, an echo of Arizona’s notorious attempt to require state and local law enforcement officials to check a person’s immigration status during traffic stops if they have “a reasonable suspicion” that someone is here illegally.

She upheld a section that criminalized the “willful failure” of an illegal immigrant to carry federal immigration papers.

Ah, the old "Papers, please" reference to Nazi Germany, suggesting that checking people's IDs is akin to the Nazis checking "papers" for Jews or political opponents to arrest or otherwise persecute. But what if you are here in the U.S. legally, as a Permanent Resident? Well, you get a "green card" to prove it.

And what is the Federal law for green card holders regarding carrying the ID? It is written right on Form I-797, which all holders receive:

Hmm...what does that say? Let's take a closer look...

Wow, those evil Nazis at Homeland Security mandate that green card holders carry their "papers" at "all times"! And those are LEGAL immigrants. How outrageous! I am expecting a follow-up editorial from the Times decrying this Fascist mandate.

EXCERPT...READ THE REST HERE
