Justice Department Sues Alabama
Foxnews.com:
The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Alabama’s new controversial immigration law, essentially fighting Alabama on grounds similar to its legal battle with Arizona over that state’s controversial law.
This is getting ridiculous. I’d love to see a state sue the Federal Government for failure to enforce current Federal immigration law.
The Federal government telling the states they can’t enact their own immigration policies because “that’s our job” has some legitimate constitutional merit. However, the states are being forced into this situation because the Federal government is—in my opinion—criminally negligent and complacent when it comes to enforcing existing immigration law, and clearly criminal aliens1 are becoming a big problem for many states.
- I use the term criminal aliens not as an indictment, but rather it is a statement of fact. If you are here illegally, you are a criminal. ↩
