IT
WORKS!
11 States Ask Supreme Court to Stop Other States From Enforcing Immigration Laws.
These 11 Refuse to Deter Illegal Immigration But Say Tough Enforcement Elsewhere Is Pushing Too Many Illegal Aliens Into Their States.
The political leaders of these 11 states generally claim that illegal immigration is a net plus and yet they don’t want other states pushing their illegal aliens into the “sanctuary” states because it supposedly will cost them too much.
This is a huge PR victory for you states that have passed immigration enforcement laws.
At the same time, it is a sign of just how nearly impossible it may be to ever get enforcement in those 11 states (and probably several more) without 50-state laws passed by Congress.
Led by New York’s attorney general, the argument to the Supreme Court is that Arizona’s enforcement, for example, cannot force the federal government to deport the illegal aliens that are identified. Thus, state laws succeed only in “redirecting undocumented immigrants to other states.”
Causing virtual sanctuary states to suffer for their welcoming policies toward illegal aliens has long been one of our objectives. So, this brief is a welcome sign.
However, the 11 attorneys general also appear to be correct that the state laws are not resulting in many illegal aliens leaving the country. Rather, without laws covering all 50 states, the state laws appear to just be moving illegal aliens around the country, something that does have benefits but not nearly as many as we would like.
Rep. Dave Camp, the Chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, is refusing to release his hold on the 50-state E-Verify bill. His committee has jurisdiction over identity theft. He is unwilling to allow the E-Verify bill to stop illegal aliens from stealing Social Security numbers to obtain U.S. jobs.
Call him or fax his office and complain; force Dave Camp to sign off on this E-Verify bill.
Mandatory E-Verify is NOT CONTROVERSIAL! Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney all voice strong support. Obama made E-Verify mandatory for federal contractors!
