The Supreme Court has finally come to a decision concerning Arizona's controversial immigration laws, put into effect in 2010. They struck down most aspects of the law, chiefly those dealing with how illegal immigrants are punished. However, the Court upheld the most controversial part of law -- the part that requires officers to check immigration status at lawful stops under reasonable suspicion.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote, "The national government has significant power to regulate immigration. Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration while that process continues, but the state may not pursue policies that undermined federal law." Do you think the Supreme Court handled the case appropriately? Or did it use its power unfairly?

+21It's appropriate that they check, but unjust that they aren't just dumped back out into the desert. Every dollar we spend mollycoddling illegals is a dollar that could be spent on an American in need. Why don't we treat illegals like they are illegal?
barak has made two things perfectly clear:
1) If there is a law currently in place that he doesn't like, he's not going to enforce it.
2) If Congress doesn't create laws the way he wants them, he's going to write executive orders to approve his narcissistic nature and self imposed dictatorship.
Me Crow. what you?
In May 1830, Congress endorsed Andrew Jackson's policy of removal by passing the Indian Removal Act, which authorized the president to set aside lands west of the Mississippi River to exchange for the lands of Indian nations in the east. Senators Henry Clay, Theodore Frelinghuysen, and Daniel Webster, as well as representatives Ambrose Spencer and David (Davy) Crockett opposed the act.
In 1832 the Supreme Court ruled against Jackson and Georgia in the case of Worcester v. Georgia. In a popular quotation, President Andrew Jackson is supposed to have said: "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!".
Deport the native Americans and let the illegal aliens stay . . . Uuuummmmm???
