A Victory For The American People

Conversely, you could say that the Chamber of Commerce and ACLU have lost, and lost big-time. Overall, it was a very good day for the Supreme Court of the United States, or as law nerds like to call it, SCOTUS. However, it was an even better day for Arizonans, and for those of us who sympathize with their struggle to combat illegal immigration almost single-handedly.

Not only did the Supreme Court majority reject the specious arguments advanced by those who want to retain a class of indentured servants from foreign countries in perpetuity, it affirmed the right of state legislatures to employ one of the most effective immigration enforcement tools in their arsenal.

As Dan Stein of the Federation for Immigration Reform points out in his organization’s press release, this Supreme Court decision deals a decisive blow to the flimsy attempts by open borders lobbyists to knock down statewide immigration enforcement statutes based upon the preemption doctrine. In an illuminating post over at John Blackman’s Blog, the rationale for rejection based upon implied preemption is fully explained with a carefully excerpted portion of Chief Justice John Roberts’s majority opinion.

A lot of liberals like e-verify even more then conservatives, cause it targets business and employers, the one aspect of illegal immigration that they dislike the most.

Highlight how the Obama appointed “justices” apposed this, highlight how the Obama Administration itself apposed this. Ask them what the Obama Administration really stands for.

Most of the rhetorical support for employer sanctions mouthed by liberals is chimerical.

When you look at the amicus curiae briefs filed in this case you'll notice that most of the Chamber of Commerce's allies are radical open borders leftists.
