Federal Judge Blocks Alabama Illegal Immigration Law

You've hardly come out with any prosecutor skills in this thread I'd feel bad for anyone with you as their lawyer.

It'd be one thing if you actually pointed out quotes from him that suggest xenophobia, but you haven't.

Wanting to live amongst others who speak english is far, far from being a xenophobe.
 
We have 10% unemployment right now, citizens should get first shot at all available jobs. Then if we need additional labor, we have a guest worker program. But we can't continue to allow unrestricted illegal immigration. We can't handle the strain on our infrastructure, education and health care systems.
 
Not really, illegals have diluted the job market so much that work like construction which use to pay pretty well 20 years ago now goes to whatever illegals the contractor can pick up on the way to the job site. They've made the price of labor so cheap that citizens can't afford to take the jobs. However, I think the main focus should be on businesses that hire illegals. Crack the fuck down hard and the problem takes care of itself.
 
Like I said before, your problem is that you automatically equate the enforcement of immigration laws with racism for some reason and you also don't understand constitutional law. A rule of interpretation is that when arabiguous, you read laws in such a way that aren't unconstitutional. Here, the only thing unconstitutional about the law is that it allows stops "for any reason", which would be constitutional if it said "for any lawful reason". A judge could just read "lawful" in there, as is the nature of our common law system, or the legislature could just rewrite it to comply. If that's the only thing "blatantly" unconstitutional (and it isn't really blatant), what do you have left after that? That has nothing to do with the substantive objective of the law. Can you look in the legislative notes and see that the legislators based the law on racist reasons? That's the only other way to support your regurgitated argument that the law is "blatantly" unconstitutional. Can you predict the future and see that police officers will disparately enforce this law only against those of a certain race relative to their respective portion of the total illegal immigrant population?

Plenty of people are for illegal immigration. Progressives with white guilt and the major political parties being the chief supporters.

They are sucking the system dry and there's no denying that. Under the current system everyone sucks the system dry, but some have the right to do so because they are citizens of this country and some don't have that right because they're here illegally.
 
So you're basically saying we should just title what is going on now "legal" and we will get much lower nurabers trying to come in illegally? Dear God you're brilliant.
 
Do you really feel this way? How do you feel about the federal judge overruling a state's decision? I guess all states should just have the fed tell them how to operate.
