Christian Post - Supreme Court Issues Mixed Ruling on Ariz. Immigration Law

By Napp Nazworth, ChristianPost.com

"The President said at a news conference that the new program is 'the right thing to do' in light of Congress's failure to pass the Administration's proposed revision of the Immigration Act. Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the Court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the Immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind," Scalia wrote.

Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ, which filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court representing 57 members of Congress and more than 65,000 Americans backing the Arizona law, praised the ruling.

"The Supreme Court took an important step forward in permitting states to protect their borders and citizens," he said. "While we're disappointed the high court failed to uphold all provisions of Arizona S.B. 1070, we're very pleased that the high court found this key provision constitutional, clearing the way for Arizona to continue its work to secure its borders and protect its citizens.". . .
