Court Won't Lift Stay on Arizona Immigration Law
By not in system - AOL NewsPHOENIX -- A federal appeals court on Monday refused to lift a stay blocking major parts of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect and said the federal government is likely to be able to prove the controversial law is unconstitutional. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned down an appeal filed by Gov. Jan Brewer. She had asked the appeals court to lift an injunction imposed by a federal judge in Phoenix the day before the law was to take effect on July 29, 2010. The U.S Justice Department sued to block the law, saying it violates the U.S. Constitution because enforcing ...

By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsA tough new bill targeting illegal immigrants in Indiana has several faith traditions speaking up in protest.

Most Americans Favor Citizenship for U.S.-Born Children of Illegal Immigrants
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyWhile Americans still favor strong measures to crack down on illegal immigration, they oppose proposals to change the Constitution so that children born here to illegal immigrants would not automatically become citizens, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted Feb. 2-7. Proposals to deny citizenship to what immigration hardliners call "anchor babies" born in the U.S. to illegal immigrant parents are unpopular with the public. Fifty-seven percent oppose changing the Constitution's 14th amendment that grants automatic citizenship to anyone born on American soil. Thirty-nine percent ...
Rebellious Arizona -- the Perfect Venue for Next Week's Tea Party Summit
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyArizona -- with its battles over immigration and its liberal gun laws -- has become something of a poster child for the anti-government movement. Which is why the Tea Party Patriots, the largest tea party group in the country, will hold their American Policy Summit at the Phoenix Convention Center Feb. 25-27. The Tea Party Patriots, which claim more than 3,000 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide, state on their summit website that they picked Phoenix because the state's tea party invited them and also to support Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's immigration ...
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Raises Stakes in Immigration Fight With Obama
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyAs the nation watches Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' inspiring recovery from an assassination attempt, the border state's bitter struggle to enforce immigration laws might seem like yesterday's headlines, far removed from the life-and-death drama of the deadly shootings in Tucson last month. But the immigration issue, or rather illegal immigration issue, never went away. It is still front and center for state officials -- "by far the number one issue," Gov. Jan Brewer said in announcing this week that Arizona would countersue the federal government for the right to police its border with ...
Arizona Countersues Federal Government Over Immigration
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyAccusing the Obama administration of failing to enforce immigration laws, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Thursday the state will counter-sue the federal government for the right to police its border with Mexico. The claim will be filed as part of the Justice Department's challenge to Arizona's controversial immigration law, The New York Times reported. SB 1070, signed by Brewer last year, requires local police to check for the immigration status of anyone stopped under "reasonable suspicion" of unlawful status. The law was halted in court after the administration argued that only federal ...
Arizona Outlaws Mexican-American Studies Program
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsA Mexican-American studies class in Arizona's Tucson Unified School District has been declared illegal by a new state law that went into effect Jan. 1. The ethnic studies law was written by former state schools superintendent Tom Horne, who left that position last week to become the state's attorney general. The new law prohibits classes that "promote the overthrow of the United States government, promote resentment toward a race or class of people, are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group, or advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as ...
