    Click To View the Fox News:Immigration Poll.pdfMost American voters think Arizona was right to pass its own immigration law, and think the Obama administration should wait and see how the new law works rather than try to stop it, according to a Fox News poll released Friday. The new poll finds 61 percent of voters nationally think Arizona was right to take action instead of waiting for the federal government to do something on immigration. That's more than twice as many as the 27 percent who think securing the border is a federal responsibility and Arizona should have waited for...

    Arizona's controversial anti-immigration policy has led an unusual life in the world of American punditry. The first reactions nation-wide were furious. Even some Arizona-based writers condemned the law. For a few days, discussion centered not on the law's merits but skipped directly to debating how best to repeal it. Gradually, some commentators began urging sympathy for Arizona, citing its lack of federal funding and complicated internal politics. And now, it seems, we've gone full circle: Several other states are considering similar legislation and many conservatives are rallying behind the bill. * 7 States Considering AZ-Like Law Think Progress' Andrea Nill...

    he furor over Arizona's new law cracking down on illegal immigrants grew Monday as opponents used refried beans to smear swastikas on the state Capitol, civil rights leaders demanded a boycott of the state, and the Obama administration weighed a possible legal challenge. Activists are planning a challenge of their own, hoping to block the law from taking effect by arguing that it encroaches on the federal government's authority to regulate immigration and violates people's constitutional rights by giving police too much power. The measure — set to take effect in late July or early August — would make it...

    The Obama administration faced mounting pressure on Sunday to overhaul immigration policy, as prominent Hispanic politicians and street protesters decried a new Arizona law as a violation of civil rights. Immigration reform is a bitterly contested political issue in the United States but a top priority for Hispanics, who are the largest minority in the nation and an important power base for President Barack Obama and his Democratic Party. Their anger flared on Friday when Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a bill requiring police to determine whether people are in the country legally and to question them...

    Some New Yorkers see their city as the center of the universe. But over the weekend, all eyes were focused on Arizona after the state’s governor signed the country’s most stringent immigration bill into law. On Saturday, New York area politicians and immigrants groups denounced the measure, which allows police to question people on the suspicion that they may be here illegally. As the Daily News reported, Mayor Bloomberg said the new measure could hurt foreign investment. Sen. Chuck Schumer called it “mean-spirited” and Bill DeBlasio, the public advocate, said it was “Un-American.” On Sunday, the Rev. Al Sharpton said...

    Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona signed the nation’s toughest bill on illegal immigration into law on Friday. Its aim is to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. The move unleashed immediate protests and reignited the divisive battle over immigration reform nationally. Even before she signed the bill at an afternoon news conference here, President Obama strongly criticized it. Speaking at a naturalization ceremony for 24 active-duty service members in the Rose Garden, he called for a federal overhaul of immigration laws, which Congressional leaders signaled they were preparing to take up soon, to avoid “irresponsibility by others.” The Arizona law,...
