September 01, 2010 Another Lawsuit Against Arizona Dismissed "A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday by a Tucson police officer who challenged Arizona's new immigration law. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton says the lawsuit by Officer Martin Escobar alleged an injury that was based on speculation," Fox News reported.
Md. County Narrowly Rejects Arizona-Style Law "The Frederick County Commissioners have rejected a proposal to establish an Arizona-style immigration law in Maryland. Board members voted 3-2 Tuesday not to include the measure in a package of proposals they will send to the county's state legislative delegation to bring before next year's General Assembly," the AP reported.
Internal Frustrations at ICE Over Enforcement "The Obama administration has attempted to strike a fine balance on immigration enforcement: Not so soft as to seem pro-amnesty, but not so tough to appear insensitive to the struggling of illegal immigrant families. Immigration and Customs Services officials have alwaysclaimed they make decisions based on resources: ICE can only deport 400,000 people per year, so they argue focusing on illegal immigrants considered dangerous makes the most sense," says the Washington Independent. "ICE officers, managers and lawyers told [the Washington Post] they are frustrated with ICE's leadership, particularly agency Director John Morton and Phyllis Coven, the official overseeing detention reform."
Another Illegal Alien Too Smart to Exist, If You Believe Center for American Progress From this weeks email to FAIR: "Recently I got a student to host from one of our Universities, we found out right away she was 8 months pregnant, and the first thing she asked was that she needed to find a Hospital. When we ask her if she had insurance, she told us no and she also said that she was told she did not need it in America. She came with no money and told us her husband was coming after the birth of the baby to stay here. She was from Cameroon, Africa. We contacted some of our representatives and one told us the law allowed them to stay if they are in last trimester of pregnancy and many show up at the border like that and they have to let them in. Many Americans are not aware of this law. Just think, this lady came from the other side of the world and she knew how to beat our system. The 14th amendment has to be changed to stop the abuse. We asked that they move her out of our house right away and they did." [FAIR comment: The email above [lightly edited for typos/misspelling] tells the same story that FAIR receives from people around the country - illegal immigrants from around the world understand America's crazy birthright citizenship policy and are prepared to exploit it.]
