On Oct. 14, a federal judge blocked key portions of Alabama?s new immigration law after several groups, including the Obama Justice Department and the ACLU, asked for an injunction.
The Justice Department claims that states that assist in enforcing federal immigration laws are violating the Constitutional separation of powers.
Really? If that?s so, I wonder if state police in Alabama are barred from arresting someone trying to pass counterfeit $100 bills, since it?s federal currency. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power ?to provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States.? It doesn?t say anything about state troopers.
Likewise, Article I, Sec. 8 of the Constitution authorizes Congress ?to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.? State police arresting illegal aliens has nothing to do with deciding who can be naturalized.
?Does it really cause harm to the United States when a state informs the federal government of persons who are in violation of federal law, and then leaves it to the federal government to decide whether to initiate deportation proceedings?? Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange wrote in the state?s response.
