A federal judge has upheld part of Arizona’s contentious immigration law, rejecting claims that the so-called “show your papers” section discriminated against Hispanics.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Friday was on the last of seven challenges to the 2010 law. The section she upheld allows police in Arizona to check the immigration status of anyone they stop.

Bolton ruled that immigration rights activists failed to show that police would enforce the law differently for Hispanics than other people. …

How long did the law languish in the courts before this ruling? How long does it take for a judge to research an issue, decide on it, and then write an opinion?

See Post #14.

Great news! Now let’s see them use this a precedence for doing it in every state.

Enough of this pussy footing around an issue that’s tearing this country apart at the seams.

Illegals must go home. Period.

Anyone holding down a job who is not an American that an American can do; must go home. Enough. Time to get serious about taking care of our own. Actually we are decades late but at least we can start to make it right; right now.

Trump is giving a lot of people backbone.

They also should be scared into getting some backbone by what's going on in Europe. Same immigration invasion we have where you are somehow a racist if you don't want your nation and culture swamped by the browner people of the Global South

Europe is getting a Camp of the Saints preview

THIS JUST IN..... an explosive document filed in Texas by the government of Mexico adds fuel to the anchor baby debate touched off by Donald Trump.....

A sworn affidavit by Mexico’s consul general admits that Mexico’s official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access the US’s generous welfare system......declaring that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing,”

THE MONEY QUOTE A footnote states that “Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent.” IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain their parents’ Mexican nationality.


The Mexican consul’s sworn testimony asserts that “My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals” and “The main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to nationals abroad.”

Ergo, Mexico’s assertion of continuing jurisdiction over its “nationals abroad,” is inconsistent with any claim to automatic US citizenship merely by reason of birth on US soil.
