Supreme Court strikes down key parts of Arizona immigration law
http://www.latimes.com/news/poli…
The decision may be a partial symbolic victory for Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, but it is a much bigger win for President Obama. His administration had sued to block the Arizona law from taking effect, and he prevailed on three of the four provisions under dispute.
The high court struck down parts of Arizona’s SB 1070 law which made it a state crime for illegal immigrants to seek work and to not to carry immigration papers. The justices also blocked a provision that gave the police authority to arrest immigrants for crimes that may lead to deportation.
- It's great 3 of 4 were struck down, but they left the 'papers please' provision in place. Good news, but not amazing.BuddhaHat
