Federal Judges Are Upholding State Laws Against

Illegal Aliens

Dec-07

The federal government's failure to resolve our illegal immigration crisis has lead many of our cities and states to enact their own legislation. Now courts are upholding those efforts. Attorneys in Oklahoma, Missouri and Arizona recently fighting off challenges to their new laws. Kris Kobach, professor of law at the University of Missouri, said:

"In the past 14 days, we have seen the federal court coming out of Valley Park, Missouri, a district judge in St. Louis as well as a federal court in Arizona, uphold a state law there and those judges rejected every single claim that the ACLU and Maldef have been bringing against these local or state laws."

The central claim? That the states are somehow pre-empted by federal law. Kobach notes, however, that Congress has invited them onto the field and they can now take away business licenses from companies that employ unauthorized aliens.

"In each of these cases, the plaintiffs argued that somehow these laws were discriminatory and in all of the cases, even in Hazleton, the judge said there is no factual basis and there is no legal basis for the claim that these laws discriminate. On the contrary, they have been written in excruciatingly neutral nonracial non-ethnic terms and they have safeguards built in so that discrimination can not give rise to any enforcement."
