Supreme Court Takes the Edge Off Arizona Immigration Law
 |
The ruling blocking much of Arizona's harsh SB 1070 calls into question the right's get-tough approach to immigration.

Several parts of
Arizona's harsh anti-illegal immigration law, which sought to purge the
state of unauthorized immigrants through a policy of "attrition through
enforcement," were blocked Monday by a Supreme Court decision that
invalidated three of the law's four main provisions but let stand—for
now—the part of the law that allows police to stop anyone they suspect
or being in the country illegally and request proof of their status. The
Arizona law had set off a burst of copycat legislation in other
conservative states, some even more severe than the original. But with
this decision, the laws spawned elsewhere are now susceptible to
challenge—and the right's get-tough approach to immigration is at risk.
"The court resoundingly rejected the argument that Arizona had the right
to impose its own criminal penalties for being undocumented in
[Arizona] or trying to seek work in the state," says Elizabeth Wydra, chief counsel at the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center. "I think that is very encouraging to challengers of other state laws." READ MORE

Michelle Rhee Adds Anti-Immigration State Alabama To Her Portfolio
Posted: 08 Feb 2012 06:00 AM PST
Here are some basic facts about Alabama. They have the most draconian immigration laws in the country, forcing people to produce identification proving they have legal status before they can even get water service, much less an education for their children. Under Alabama's horrible law, teachers are required to check the immigration status of their students. These policies are inhuman in a state where there are already far too many poor people, citizen and immigrant alike. Also? Alabama does not currently have charter schools.
Alabama's education system is underfunded and in need of reforms, but not Rhee's flavor of reforms. To get a sense of who she really is, watch the video at the top where she admits she was a bad teacher while selling herself as a reformer.
And now she's sold herself to Alabama as The Great Education Savior, under what can only be described as very strange and odd circumstances.

Let's have a look at the parallels between Michelle Rhee's priorities and ALEC's.
