Arizona Passes Law Banning Multilingual Requirement for Businesses

May 18, 2010

Author: Fenig: American Thinker

Arizona did it again! Fresh from signing a law that reinforces a federal law giving police the right to ask a person stopped by police for an unrelated matter to produce papers proving the right to be legally in the US, followed by a law banning schools from teaching minority/ethnic studies courses advocating separatism, group superiority and subversion of this country, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) signed

legislation affirming that nothing in state law requires businesses to provide "trained and competent" interpreters when a customer comes in speaking a language other than English. Assistant Attorney General Michael Walker said that has probably always been the law.

If it was always the law, why the need for this law? Because of a lawsuit of course. A unilingual Spanish speaking woman in Arizona was treated by a unilingual English speaking optometrist in his Arizona office. The woman's underage 12 year old daughter offered to be the interpreter; fearing legal, insurance and medical problems if the child misunderstood the optometrist refused, asking the mother and child to return with an English speaker over 18 or alternatively, visit some Spanish speaking optometrists. Instead, the Spanish speaker, whether legally in this country or not, understood enough of this country to file a discrimination suit against the English speaking optometrist. Refusing to settle, the optometrist finally won after the Arizona Attorney General took a year to decide no laws had been broken.

But the lawsuit and the trouble it caused the optometrist, Dr. Schrolucke, pushed him to reach out to

Sen. John Huppenthal, R-Chandler, who agreed to sponsor what he called "clarifying language" to the state's civil rights law.

"Nobody should be treated like this," Huppenthal said. "It's a nightmare to go through this. He was drug through the mud by us."

Learning other languages, studying other cultures can be valuable, can be interesting but should not be a legal requirement for a person's business. Learning the language, studying the culture of the country of residence for an immigrant should be legally required for such public activities as voting and obtaining such government documents as a driver's license.

If the immigrant cannot or will not adapt and prefers to live in an ethnic ghetto that is the immigrant's right. But imposing the alien culture onto this country, expecting the host culture--the US's--to adapt to the immigrant's culture by rule of law and suing to bring it about should be illegal.

Step by step Arizona is proving to be the little state that can!

Cite the federal law which gives the police that power, please. And explain why Arizona had to pass a law that already exists.

Thanks...

Immigration is the purview of the Federal Government. The States have no "rights" [actually "powers" as only people have rights] to encroach on Federal powers.

English is the language of money. If you want to make it here, you have to be able to speak it, read it, write it. To do otherwise is to limit yourself.

Arizona will do away with sanctuary policy at the state level and at the city level. We want to let law enforcement officers to do their jobs. States have the inherent right to enforce the laws of our country. Arizona will set the pace. We will lead the charge in Arizona to defend the U.S. Constitution.

Arizona did not make illegal, illegal. Illegal was already illegal. It is a crime to enter or remain in the U.S. in violation of federal law. States have had inherent authority to enforce immigration laws and have failed or refused to do so. Sanctuary policies are illegal under federal law (8 USC 1644 & 1373) yet we have them all over the United States.

What part do you not understand?

OTOH; ask someone else who may not be as weary of either your Socialist views, or just plain inbred ignorance! I'm done with you!

State governments are bound by oath to support the constitution. The constittuion makes immigration enforcement the purview of the US government.

The law that you cite simply requires the Federal government to provide information to state and local governments what the immigration status of a person is. It does not empower a police officer to stop someone and ask.

One of your contentions is that States and local LEOS never enforce Fed laws.

IS this correct?

Nope.

My contention is that there is no constitutional - or legislative - grant of power to local governments and officials to inquire and detain for the sole purpose of enforcing immigration law.

So there is no constitutional grant of power to local governments and officials to enforce any Fed laws?

The legal ruling has been made.

The document, written in 2002 by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, concluded that state police officers have "inherent power" to arrest undocumented immigrants for violating federal law.

Obama has not withdrawn the memo.

What the "memo" does is give the DoJ self-justification to ignore such an act as being violative of the constitution. It does not mean that it isn't.

"UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES"

That makes it clear that the power is limited.

Nowhere does any law empower them to inquire "just because".

Just STFU bozo.

LEO's are always within their rights (as sworn) to inquire as to any aspect of suspected illegal behavior.

The ONLY reason they have been muzzled is due to f'ing leftist politician "police chief" types enacting dubious illegal superceding "consent decrees" and whatnot to appease you shitty fraud libtard hand wringers.
