Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"The guarantees of protection contained in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution extend to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, without regard to differences of race, of color, or of nationality."
US Supreme Court
YICK WO V. HOPKINS, 118 U. S. 356 (1886)
In conclusion Arizona's immigration "Law" is DOA.
.
^ What a truly absurd, stupid and ridiculous post.
Since the AZ law denies nobody of Equal Protection of the Law nor does it deprive anybody of due process, there is NO basis whatsoever to believe the new AZ immigration law is "DOA." In fact, it should stand up QUITE WELL.
,
Even if it does stand up, they are going to bankrupt themselve trying to prove they are right.
And anytime a legal citizen is questioned or arrested because of this law, you can bet they will be suing the state. Last time I checked Arizona wasn't doing that great in this economy.
Why do they spend their tax dollars in a smart way, and go after the employers?
If this were true, every person who is pulled over for making a wide turn and found to have a driver's license would have bankrupted every city and every state in the US by now.
All the Americans of Mexican descent I've heard opine on this state they're sick of being lumped together with illegals, and they are 100 percent behind the law.
