350 Bills at State Level to Fight Illegal Immigration!
March 7th, 2008A little good news for a Friday!
WASHINGTON — State lawmakers around the country are proposing hundreds of bills this year aimed at curbing illegal immigration, but experts say the cost and public opposition will keep many from becoming law.
Uh.. no.. it is more like.. judges are FINALLY ruling in favor of the Constitution and proving that State laws to fight illegal immigration are NOT pre-empting Federal Law but Sanctuary Cities ARE pre-empting Federal Laws by choosing NOT to uphold immigration laws!
Lawmakers in at least eight states are now sponsoring legislation similar to Oklahoma, which last May passed the nation’s most comprehensive anti-immigration law.
It restricts illegal immigrants’ access to driver’s licenses and other IDs, limits public benefits, penalizes employers who hire them and boosts ties between local police and federal immigration authorities.
The bills are among more than 350 immigration-related proposals unveiled in state legislatures in the first two months of this year, according to a count by The Associated Press.
Sharma Hammond, staff attorney for the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, believes states have been galvanized by the collapse two years running of a congressional solution.
“They feel like they have to take it into their own hands because the federal government is doing nothing,” said Hammond, whose group helps states write the comprehensive bills and favors a freeze on nearly all immigration.
