>SB1070 Immigration Law, Supreme Court Hearing, Alberta Times Reporter, Kaiying Compilation The federal Supreme Court began hearing on Arizona's immigration law on the 24th. The Obama administration believes that the state's immigration law enacted in 2010 to outlaw illegal immigration conflicts with federal law. Immigration law requires state police to check the immigration status of other people when they stop them. The law also makes it a crime for undocumented immigrants to seek employment. The above two provisions of the immigration law were blocked by the federal court because they interfered with federal immigration laws, but other states have still enacted similar immigration laws. This is the second time in less than a month that the Supreme Court justices have heard arguments on a challenge to federal power, following the Obama administration's health care reform law. State legislators believe they enacted immigration laws to reduce the illegal immigrant population, and many undocumented immigrants have left voluntarily, demonstrating the success of the immigration laws. But critics say the immigration law hurts the province's image, and some groups have called for a boycott of Arizona and the cancellation of events in the state. They believe the law's racial discrimination based on skin color is unfair to the large number of Latino immigrants. The focus of the dispute over immigration laws and Obama's health care law is essentially between the Obama administration and Democratic-governed states, against attempts by Republican-governed states and Tea Party sympathizers to challenge the authority of the federal government. Woods, the Republican former state attorney general, believes that illegal immigration is a serious problem in the state, but it does not mean that each state should go its own way and formulate its own immigration policies. He said the dispute between the two sides stems from Congress's failure to promote immigration reform. Claremont, the former attorney general of the Department of Justice, will represent the state in the Supreme Court argument. He said that Arizona was forced to take action against illegal immigrants because the federal government failed to ensure border security. Illegal immigrants account for 6% of the state's population, causing overcrowding in prisons across the state, overwhelmed public schools, and declining wages for citizens and legal residents. Justice Department Attorney General Verrilli, who will defend the federal government, believes the federal government has stepped up border enforcement without disregarding the safety of Alberta and that Arizona's immigration laws conflict with the laws of Congress. On Tuesday, Democratic Senator Robert Schuman said he would draft a backup plan to prohibit state and local authorities from enforcing their own immigration policies if the high court supports the bill. "When Arizona and Alabama write their own laws, they can no longer evade responsibility by helping the federal government enforce their laws." ?BR> Ousted Senator Pierce, who drafted the bill, defended it as an effective means to combat illegal immigration. "Today we are faced with various problems caused by illegal immigration, including drug smuggling, gun theft, human trafficking, etc., which pose a great threat to our country." The High Court is expected to make a ruling in June.
