Democrats plan to force vote on Arizona immigration law if it’s upheld by court - The Washington Post
[h=1]Democrats plan to force vote on Arizona immigration law if it’s upheld by court[/h]
enate Democrats are making plans to force a floor vote on legislation that would invalidate Arizona’s controversial immigration statute if the Supreme Court upholds the law this summer.Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) will announce the fallback legislation at a hearing on the Arizona law Tuesday, a day before the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a suit to determine whether Arizona had the authority to enact the 2010 state crackdown.
Ok, what is this guy thinking?
If the law is upheld, then the Supreme court says that states have the right to enact such legistlation, thus any Federal legislation would face a judicial challange because it was enacted to take away a right of a state with a probabl outcome of the Federal Government not being allowed to limit a states rights.
Good for them. Republicans don't like the Supreme Court anyways. May as well propose a vote and get the entire Senate on record about legislation targeting Hispanics. If Republicans lose whatever they have left of the Hispanic vote, I'm alright with that.
Not necessarily. The Court could rule that the the AZ law isn't facially preempted by existing federal law without saying that states can conduct their own immigration policy regardless. In that case Congress could pass a law expressly preempting the states from enforcing these sorts of laws.
On a side note: For first time since Depression, more Mexicans leave U.S. than enter - The Washington Post
No indication on a % that left were here illegally to begin with nor what % came during the same period illegally, so I'm not sure of the relevance. The immigration debate is about illegal immigration, not Mexicans. And yes, I can say that with a straight face.
The reversal appears to be a result of tightened border controls, a weak U.S. job and housing construction market, a rise in deportations and a decline in Mexican birthrates, said the study, which used U.S. and Mexican census figures and Mexican government surveys. Arrests of illegal immigrants trying to enter the United States have also dropped precipitously in recent years.

Right, **** the supreme court i we can trick hispanics.... :roll:
That would mean that all Hispanics are illegal aliens and want to get on welfare.
What? There is something missing in that sentence.
Stupid iphone. "i" should be "if"....

What is it with democrats and their opposition to the law?
They fight against laws to prevent voter fraud, and laws to prevent illegal immigration.
And the Republicans oppose healthcare laws, and consumer protection laws, and stimulus package laws. What is your point?
And SB1070 in no way PREVENTS illegal immigration.
No. Republicans oppose endless stupidity and government largesse. Democrats embrace such.
Now, can you explain ? Or are you just as dumbfounded, and possibly even pissed-off, as the rest of us ?
I think SB1070 is a dumb law but I don't blame Arizona for wanting to do something about illegal immigration :shrug:
Doesn't anybody realize an erection3oops: I mean election ) is just around the corner and this is all about the Hispanic vote. It doesn't really matter what the SCOTUS says. Republicans do stuff like this as well.
