Lawsuit Against SB 1070 Lays Bare Federal Inaction
"The citizens of the state have been living under the siege of illegal immigration for years. What for most of us is an abstract political or humanitarian issue is for Arizonans a daily battle to protect life, property, and vital resources. The recent passage of bold new immigration legislation was the people's way of saying they'd had enough," says Ken Connor in a Crosswalk.com commentary. "By suing the state of Arizona for "unconstitutionally" passing immigration legislation, the federal government is tacitly acknowledging its dereliction of duty - they have admitted that there is a dangerous and dire problem along America's southern border that they aren't addressing."
