I think you like to play devil's advocate and none of us really have any clue what you really think, LOL.

So... does this mean I can still get me some good carne asada when I come down?

For those of you who are pissed off at the judge, keep in mind that this is just a preliminary ruling, and it was to be expected.

In a challenge to a statute like this, the party bringing the lawsuit always asks for a TRO against enforcement of the law pending adjudication. The court then looks at the statute and the challenge to it, and rules based on whether the plaintiff has a reasonable chance of prevailing at trial. The standard is not all that high, and the court tends to error to the side of caution, particularly when the statute in question is highly controversial, and opposed at the executive level of government.

ANY time the case involves potential for federal preemption of state law, the court is pretty likely to put a TRO against enforcement in place. This is because the feds, historically, have come out on top of such arguments a healthy percentage of the time.

In short, this is a procedural ruling, NOT necessarily an indication of what the court will eventually decide.

It's just judicial business as usual folks, nothing more. In the end, this same court/judge may well rule for Arizona, entirely. This is also Step 1 of MANY to come. Settle in for a long ride... this case is not going to resolve quickly; it is going to be appealed by the losing side (whichever side that turns out to be) every step of the way.

are you huffing gold paint? :helpme :1orglaugh makes me laugh

Activist Judge has gone rogue!

The right wing child molesters are up in arms and hysterical!!!!

i like thinking for myself

keep in mind, i have been called a fucking idiot, a socialist, stupid, for arguing for the rights of american citizens, by american citizens lol

That's simply how racist,xenophobic Americans greet foreigners. It's normal for them.

No doubt this will be a long battle and it will be costly on both sides..... just more additional costs over illegal immigrants.....lovely :disgust

Good thing though, many have fled the state which is a good thing. My Mother in law lives in the burbs of Chicago and said it is getting worse that it ever has been and people are talking about getting them out of there too.

If enough states jump on board and let the feds know they will do the job they are paid to do or the cities will do it for them, may just get things moving along.

Rush Limbaugh already spewing that the judge is a Clinton appointee.

And what do you know about American rights? Please enlighten us all!

Remember this is not Canada :winkwink:

To the best of my knowledge he does not have the legal power to deport anyone...only the Federal Government has that power.

Does that mean Canadians have more rights than Americans?

Maybe I should migrate to Canada.

Fiddy illegals (had to do it)

that's a good point, what do i know about american rights

i guess i could quote your founding fathers, but why laugh

i guess i could quote the WW2 propaganda, but why cry

so no, you're right, i have no idea what rights you guys do or don't have

i'll just say i am pointing out the blatant racism that is going on

The biggest issue I have with amnesty is giving a privilege to someone whose first order was to break a law of my country. You do that anywhere else, you get in trouble for it.

So someone pesters you cuz you have a different skin color? Welcome to the fucking world. Deal with it, it's what we've got to live with these days. I dealt with it all of the time with the harassment in Latin America and elsewhere - and ya know what? I didn't fucking bitch and whine that they were infringing on my rights - because in their country, I had none.

looks that way.... been that way in LA county for years

racism as in anything whites disagree with is racism or racism as in anything non whites want to do and are called on, is racism?

He does it all the time, and I would assume he is doing it right. Joe always covers his bases and I don't know the full process he goes through, all I know is he sends them home, via plane or bus.

This isn't a problem. They needed to make the feds look good. It'll be overturned on appeals. The rest of the law goes into effect just fine, so it's still a victory.

Just what I thought....................................

racism as in, second class citizens.

have you ever experienced racism? been told you can't marry cause the colour of your skin? fought your way out at the knees cause that was the only way you were going to survive?

you experienced racism?

i was being facetious...............................

The problem is, morons and liberals abuse the term "racism" to the point where it becomes a meaningless justification.

:1orglaugh so sad, but he still has those scam-tastic Gold Freedom Roosters to sell!

It is my understanding that he...just as any...law enforcement agency can...works through a 287(g) program which is a federal program that allows law enforcement to turn over illegal immigrants who have been arrested/convicted of a crime (other than simply being an illegal immigrant) to the feds for deportation.

Complaints about Arpaio's immigration enforcement tactics led the federal government last October to yank his authority to enforce immigration laws during patrols...and he is currently under federal investigation.

SB1070 violations are/were all misdemeanors, not prison offenses by any means. I'm guessing Shurf Joe will pick up the pace now.

And you wonder why people suggest you are an idiot.

I don't know the fine lines of his operation. As I recall he always turned them over to the border patrol at the border and they send them home. If anything, it gets the job done.
I heard on the news he is under investigation, but this won't be the first time, nor the last and he always seems to win in the end, so I will place my faith in him instead of the corrupt federal government to get the job done ;)

He has plenty of raids scheduled for tomorrow and I am sure he will be successful in rounding up more to send home.

a law that only targets a segment of the population that pays taxes isn't racist?

Not what we wanted but certainly not a loss either. It sounded like the wording and phrases of the stricken parts had an impact on the decision.

This is gonna be a long haul, there is an upside though. As long as it's being debated, discussed, appealed, etc the illegals will be running scared. That's a plus for Arizona, not so much for the States they're fleeing to.

what is your plan :helpme it targets south americans in Az because they are in violation id say 99.9% of illegals are south american in Az. im not going throught this explanation again :disgust

I repeat...he cannot deport anyone. He can (or could...before the feds suspended his authority to do so...so I don't know if he still can) through the 287(g) program turn over to the feds those illegal immigrants that have been arrested/convicted of a crime (other than simply being an illegal immigrant) to the feds for deportation.

The new Arizona law would not have allowed Arizona to deport anyone for simply being an illegal immigrant...the law simply made it a state law...vs a federal law...to be an illegal immigrant and would have given the state the power to arrest/convict and hold the illegal in jail...but not to deport...as only the feds have the power to deport.

Weird, considering the majority of that "population" DOESNT pay taxes..

Where do you come up with this crap?

So you're saying Liberals are against the power of the Vote?

sheriff is clever!

"The first thing you need to address if you?re an immigrant with a criminal record is whether or not you?re an illegal or legal immigrant. Generally, if a person has come into the US illegally, they are typically prohibited from applying for US citizenship on this ground alone and may also be subject to deportation. The reason is because illegal immigrants have not only violated US law by coming into the country without authorization, but they?ve also cut in line in front of all those immigrants who have applied for residency through the normal legal immigration process. This process is important to the US because it gives the government a chance to vet all potential immigrants prior to being allowed entry. Though its possible for ICE to choose not to deport an illegal immigrant, such decisions happen very rarely and usually only in extraordinary cases."
read here their just hurting themselves.

I fail to see how what you posted makes the Sheriff clever...or what it has to do with my post. Care to educate me on both points?

Ah liberals. The cornerstone of stupidity in this country.

when they are captured they are marked. they will never become citizens. sweeping them up puts them in the system so if they try to apply after being deported they can not become a citizen. the ones convicted of felony identity theft are for sure not getting citizenship.
