Dan Stein Op-Ed: A Win for Arizona, A Need for Congressional Action
"The Supreme Court Monday handed Arizona a hard-fought victory in upholding the most contentious part of the Arizona immigration law, section 2(b) of SB 1070. That section requires state and local enforcement officials to verify with federal authorities the immigration status of people they lawfully stop when they suspect they are in the country illegally," says FAIR President Dan Stein in an op-ed. "Justice Anthony Kennedy's majority opinion overturned these provisions on narrow legal grounds, arguing that they allowed a state to preempt what Congress has outlined as the role of the federal government to enforce immigration law. But in that sense, Justice Kennedy's majority opinion also makes it clear that the court respects Congress's wide-ranging and exclusive authority to authorize states to assist in a variety of areas of immigration law enforcement."

Study Focuses on Benefit to Immigrants, Not Americans
"Arguing against immigration policies that force foreign-born innovators to leave the United States, a new study to be released on Tuesday shows that immigrants played a role in more than three out of four patents at the nation's top research universities," the New York Times writes.
"'No one is asking what is in their best interest, the American worker,' said Eric Ruark, director of research for the Federal for American Immigration Reform, an advocacy group that is pushing for reduced immigration. 'It's what is best for the employers. What is best for the foreign workers. It's not as if the foreign workers aren't skilled. What's being ignored is we already have a domestic work force that has the same skills.'"
