ARIZONA injuntion

"Would Arizona's legislature now try to rewrite the bill, addressing the judge's concerns as much as possible, or stubbornly attempt to push through the current version? It seems that the judge's ruling left the door somewhat open for a version that would attempt to reach Arizona's goals stated in the preamble to SB 1070 without imposing the "distinct, unusual and extraordinary burden" on legals."

Being the first State to do it, it wouldn't matter much.

Majority of the illegals and their legal family members and legal relatives has already left. They won't be going back to AZ even if there would be CIR.

Majority of the damage has been done.

If AZ re-writes the bill and use better language it would only affect the small numbers that chose not to leave.

It is the 20 or so other States that are monitoring the event that will reap the benefits of crafting their version of the bill with better language.

"Unfortunately few of the antis seem to possess the brainpower to comprehend what the ruling is about;"

LOL! How true!

In any event, the majority (USCs, who look European and speak English with a nasal accent) tried to protect itself from the illegals by stripping the minority (all other USCs) of their rights, all the while repeating "what part of illegal don't you understand" while it the same time indulging in highly illegal conduct.

In a democracy the majority is not entitled to protect itself at the expense of the minority.

I think the judge demonstrated superior skill in dealing with the issues by framing the ruling to not be about Arizona's right, or lack thereof, to deal with illegals, but about Arizona trampling on legal immigrants' rights in the process. Had Arizona's legislature been more thoughtful in crafting the bill, perhaps the intent of dealing with illegal immigration could have been served without threatening legal visitors and green card holders with indefinite detention. Unfortunately few of the antis seem to possess the brainpower to comprehend what the ruling is about; the debate has now steered even more into the "four legs good, two bad" area. Judge with immigrant, bad judge.

Thanks, Greg - Hot off the press!

Greg can you provide some plain English language analysis as to the meaning of the injunction and the specific parts that are and are not allowed for all of us here.

It will lake a long time before it is resolved by the Supreme Court...by that time anti-immigrant forces would run out of money and they will find it tough to come after the legals as they are doing now in Australia, UK and Japan!
