Does Obama And Holder Know Federal Law?

The Barack Hussein Obama administration last Friday urged the Supreme Court to review and set aside an Arizona law that sanctions employers who hire illegal immigrants, saying it would disrupt the "careful balance" that Congress struck in federal immigration law.  Obama and Eric Holder need to read the federal law and then enforce it. 

The Legal Arizona Workers Act, imposes tougher sanctions than federal law for hiring illegal workers. If the court chooses to hear the case, its ruling could show how receptive the justices would be to arguments that enforcing immigration laws is a federal responsibility that cannot be usurped by the states.

The Arizona law would "disrupt a careful balance that Congress struck nearly 25 years ago between two interests of the highest importance: ensuring that employers do not undermine enforcement of immigration laws by hiring unauthorized workers, while also ensuring that employers not discriminate against racial and ethnic minorities legally in the country," Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal wrote. 

The case the court is considering is Chamber of Commerce v. Candelaria.

The Arizona act is being challenged by a coalition of organizations that include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Hispanic groups and civil libertarians. Business groups want to head off a proliferation of conflicting state laws on employer sanctions, while others worry that the penalties would discourage companies from hiring even those legally in the country.

It’s time for Obama and Eric Holder to do their jobs.  If they did then Arizona and other states wouldn’t have to pass legislation protecting them from the illegal alien problem.  Arizona is attempting to protect the taxpaying citizens of Arizona.
