"On May 26, the U. S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting.[1] In a 5–3 decision, the Court upheld the Legal Arizona Workers Act of 2007, allowing states to force employers to use the E-Verify system and revoke the business licenses of employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
On the heels of that decision, Arizona recently petitioned the Supreme Court to hear Arizona v. United States, a case involving an Arizona immigration law called the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” (S.B. 1070). That petition, and ultimate success in the Court, seems all the more likely now given the holding and rationale in Whiting and the not-so-secret fact that the federal government’s inaction on immigration enforcement has crippled states like Arizona."
This is a great step forward but we can expect a challenge from the Obama Injustice Department.
