Listen Up, Arizona: Immigration is a Federal, not a State, Responsibility

Employers in Arizona are challenging a law passed in 2007 mandating the use of a flawed database system called E-Verify to check on the immigration status of employees. In a recent national newscast on the Spanish-language network Univision, ACLU-NC staff attorney Julia Harumi Mass explains why the Supreme Court should strike down the law.

Nope, a state has a responsibility to protect its citizens--especially if the Fed is MIA. To say that a state cannot police itself shows only ignorance.

Article 4 – States Relations

Article 4 Section 4:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”

Paraphrasing: "The Feds & very state in the Union, is responsible to every state in the Union, for securing our Union against INVASION and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE."

Article 1 Section 10 Clause 3:

“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

Paraphrasing: "Every state in the union, shall, without the Consent of Congress, engage in War, when actually INVADED."
