Open Thread: Arizona Guilty of Enforcing the Law

July 9th, 2010 10:01 AM

There are, contrary to popular belief, a number of states with immigration laws similar to Arizona's. They are not, of course, being sued by the Justice Department. Why?

California is NOT being sued by the Federal Government for it’s law regarding illegal immigration and law enforcement cooperation with detaining suspects who may be illegal aliens.

California’s law forbids ANY entity from interfering with the enforcement of this law, but California does not enforce this law, instead Los Angeles is boycotting Arizona and the Obama administration is spending million in taxpayer dollars to tell a court that States cannot enforce Federal laws, despite Federal laws that urge and seek local and state cooperation.

Why isn’t California being sued? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE- California has no intention of enforcing this law while Arizona does.
