Jim in Anchorage Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I find this remarkable. The Attorney General? link "I have not had a chance to -- I've glanced at it," Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants. 10 pages?

Jim in Anchorage Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is it time yet? Good God, it is Fox new, but still... What difference if Fox reported it? It's not a opinion piece, just reporting of whats on public record. Would you expect NBC to mention it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I haven't read the Bill but does this bill or any other law in Arizona do anything to go after those who hire illegal immigrants? It takes two parties to take a job away from an American. If the jobs for illegals dried up then the illegals would stop coming here, immigrants legal or illegal go were the jobs are.

Jim in Anchorage Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 I he has no advisers, and his advisers that he doesn't have have not read it either! But, yeah, given the source, I trust this article to be accurate as much as I trust it to be fair and balanced. Your stupidity knows no bounds. it was testimony at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If,12 in the case when an employer uses a contract, subcontract or other 13 independent contractor agreement to obtain the labor of an alien in this 14 state, the employer knowingly contracts with an unauthorized alien or with a 15 person who employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien to perform the 16 labor, the employer violates this subsection.

Jim in Anchorage Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Interesting. I still think this is much-ado about nothing. He said his team is reviewing it, and he said he's not made any decisions on anything yet. You must trust CNN- link Washington (CNN) -- Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday that the Justice Department was considering a federal lawsuit against Arizona's new immigration law. So I Guess the Attorney General has better things to do then read a bill his Dept is considering challenging. Nice. But he has time to make public comments on it.

DC Tom Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 THe difference is you are not attorney General.Here, now you are better informed than Holder- Arizona SB 1070 In Holder's defense, he's probably a little busier than you or I when it comes to keeping caught up with state legislation. Plus, he's not going to challenge the law. His office is. He only needs to be up to speed enough to direct the general policy w/r/t the challenge, which should take him about half an hour (only five minutes of which is reading the law). Plus...he doesn't even need that much. I can think of two challenges off the top of my head that require no knowledge of the law (immigration law and national border security are both rights not vested to the states, so AZ's law is unconstitutional in superceding federal law - not saying those are true, just that they're valid challenges).

IDBillzFan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 In Holder's defense, he's probably a little busier than you or I when it comes to keeping caught up with state legislation. Bulllschitt. He wasn't too busy to make the rounds on the Sunday political shows to discuss his problems with the bill, and how he is looking into filing suits against it. It's 12 pages. He can read it while taking a freaking dump. This is ridiculously embarrassing, and even the liberal partisan shills know this to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone qualified to the AG, he should know that the SC unanimously upheld a states ability to enact and enforce laws consistent with federal immigration law. He ought to be at least a little curious to see if this law, which has garnered so much national attention and WH directives for him to challenge it, falls under that ruling or not.

You are underestimating those who come to rape, pillage and plunder... and mooch off of the social welfare system (health care in ERs whose bills they never pay, food stamps, low-income housing, social security --- yes, there are people who come to the U.S. who never put a dime into SS and collect a larger check than those who did --- etc.) to a higher degree than their "cheap labor" will ever inject into the economy.

Regardless of that, there's still more than a few other principles it can be challenged on. First, fourth, and fifth amendments, for starters. Arguably the 14th, and civil rights legislation. Again, not saying they'd be good challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
