Although Arizona's new immigration law raised concerns that it might result in racial profiling, Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday that the Justice Department lawsuit seeking to overturn it focused tightly on the federal government's prerogative to set immigration policy because that provided the strongest legal basis for the case.
Holder said on CBS' Face the Nation that if, Arizona's statute does go into effect, his department would keep its options open to see if racial profiling is occurring and to act on that basis if it was.
The Arizona measure would require police and other law enforcement officials, while enforcing other laws, to question a person's immigration status upon "reasonable suspicion" that they are in the state illegally. Justice has asked for an immediate injunction to prevent the law from going into effect as scheduled on July 29.
A U.S. District Judge in Phoenix is expected to rule on the injunction request within the next two weeks.
Racial profiling is a TOP PRIORITY in this country. Crime, terrorism, the economy, and poverty mean absolutely nothing compared to people who could be offended.
Eric Holder is just the Traitor's puppet. We need to weaken the Traitor ( Obama) this November by voting out his supporters and then Obama will have to dye his graying hair twice as often. Hopefully the stress of being an inept president overwhelms him.
Yes because its much easier to go after AZ than it is to hold illegals accountable.
