Greg Sargent has a statement from Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl, responding to the news that the Obama administration will sue Arizona over their draconian immigration law, SB 1070: "The American people must wonder whether the Obama Administration is really committed to securing the border when it sues a state that is simply trying to protect its people by enforcing immigration law. "Attorney General Holder speaks of the 'federal government's responsibility' to enforce immigration laws; but what are the people of Arizona left to do when the federal government fails in its responsibility? "The Obama Administration has not done everything it can do to ...

One Business Filed 37,375 Bad W-2 Forms—and Is Getting Away With It Wednesday, July 07, 2010 By Terence P. Jeffrey Listen to Commentary Podcasts A single employer filed 37,375 W-2 forms in tax year 2005 on which the Social Security Number and the name did not match. These “no-match” W-2 forms often—but not always—represent an illegal-alien worker fraudulently using someone else’s Social Security number or a fake number. An employer who files 37,375 no-match W-2s in one year is almost certainly employing many thousands of illegal aliens—and knows it. Yet there is no indication our federal government has taken any action to stop this employer from ...

Arizona suit imperils Western Dems By MAGGIE HABERMAN & CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN & SCOTT WONG | 7/7/10 4:52 AM EDT While the lawsuit could prove helpful to President Barack Obama by revving up his own base in 2012 -- and, by extension, prove harmful to Republicans that year -- the near-term impact is a different matter. The Obama administration's lawsuit over the stringent Arizona border law might have just made the incline a little steeper for many Western Democrats, providing instant fodder to Republicans who are already optimistic about regaining ground lost over the last two election cycles. The dust from the Department of Justice lawsuit filed Tuesday is just starting to ...
Why the Justice Department Lawsuit Against Arizona Will Likely Fail

Why the Justice Department Lawsuit Against Arizona Will Likely Fail By Lis Wiehl Published July 06, 2010 The federal government has just filed suit challenging the state of Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigration law. The basis? The Supremacy Clause, which says that federal law trumps state law. But that argument should fail in a court of law because the Arizona law mimics the federal law. It basically gives the state a mechanism to enforce federal law, to turn over people police have a reasonable suspicion to believe may be illegal over to the feds. The Supremacy Clause only comes into play when a state law is “contrary” to a federal law or the Constitution. And courts ...

Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year, Study Finds By Ed Barnes Published July 06, 2010 The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year -- an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America -- according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study, a copy of which was provided to FoxNews.com, “is the first and most detailed look at the costs of illegal immigration ever done,” says Bob Dane, director of communications at FAIR, a conservative organization that seeks to end almost all immigration to the U.S. FAIR's opponents in the bitter ...

EXCLUSIVE: Arizona's Closed Federal Parkland is a No-Man's Land By Joshua Rhett Miller Published July 02, 2010 BUENOS AIRES NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, Arizona – The number of illegal immigrants and drug smugglers crossing through this magnificent national parkland in southern Arizona has "decreased significantly" in the last four years, park officials say. But there's a dark cloud to this silver lining: To make it happen, the refuge had to close a sliver of this slice of heaven to the quarter-billion American taxpayers who own it -- essentially creating a no-man's-land on which only drug smugglers, gun-runners, human traffickers and the Border Patrol ...

Fox News Poll: Secure the Border First By Dana Blanton Published July 02, 2010 June 12: Mexicans are seen damaging the U.S. border fence, during a protest on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez. A majority of American voters think the federal government should secure the country’s borders first, before Congress works on new immigration legislation.

The Southern Border Could Get Much Worse By Robert Eugene Simmons Jr The southern border of the USA is no longer something that we can ignore or use as a political tool. Successive presidents have failed to control this border for one reason or another, but the escalation of drug cartel violence on the southern side of the border is making the issue of illegal immigration almost an afterthought. It seems that if something doesn't change, we could be looking at an all-out war with Mexican drug cartels. Police Chief Jeff Kirkham of the border town Nogales, Arizona, told Tucson Channel 9 (ABC) news that he has received threats that the Mexican drug cartels will start using snipers to ...

Race relations acquire a new sensitivity in states like California where minorities are now the majority. A new poll of California voters found a majority embrace the state’s growing diversity. But, while most accept that their neighbors don’t look the same as they do, some view the growing mix of nationalities, races, religions, and lifestyles with some misgivings. According to a new six-language survey released by The Field Poll, 24 percent said the ...
Democrat County Supervisor Doesn’t Know Arizona Borders Mexico But Supports Boycott

Democrat County Supervisor Peggy West of the Milwaukee County Board vocally showcased her opposition to the Arizona immigration law and support of a boycott on the state. Her reason for supporting such a measure is simple; if Arizona were a state like Texas, “a state that directly shares a border” with Mexico, she would then think twice about it. According to her, that’s not the case. Arizona is state “removed from the border.” “If this was Texas, which is a state that directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this, saying they have an issue with—you know– undocumented people, flooding their borders, I would ...

The 524 soldiers are expected to deploy in August. Brennan also met with more than 50 local and state law enforcement officials to hear ...
Court to hear challenge to employer sanctions law

PHOENIX — The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear an appeal from business and civil rights groups trying to overturn a 2007 Arizona law that prohibits employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. The state law was intended to lessen the economic incentive for immigrants to sneak into the U.S. by holding employers accountable for hiring them. The prohibition is separate from a new Arizona immigration law that's also being challenged in court and requires police to question the immigration status of people they suspect are in the country illegally. Supporters say the employer sanctions law was needed because the federal government hasn't adequately enforced a ...

Administration Weighs Bypassing Congress to Let Illegal Immigrants Stay The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com. The issue was raised publicly by eight Republican senators who wrote to the White House on Monday to complain that they had heard the administration was readying a "Plan B" in case a comprehensive immigration reform bill cannot win enough support to clear Congress. The White House would not confirm ...

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The Anti-Defamation League joined a lawsuit to overturn Arizona's restrictive immigration law. The federal lawsuit, initiated by Friendly House, a Phoenix social services organization, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups, seeks to overturn a law passed earlier this year that grants police wide latitude to stop individuals and check their immigration status. "Rather than making Arizona more secure, we believe this law will have the opposite effect," Miriam Weisman, ADL Arizona's regional chair, and Bill Straus, ADL Arizona's regional director, said in a statement Tuesday.

Jan Brewer signed a new immigration ...
