Obama refuses to secure the border and now interferes in the internal laws of a state attempting to bring safety and security to its citizens.  The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court decision that upheld Arizona’s right to punish employers for hiring illegal immigrants.

The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court decision that upheld Arizona’s right to punish employers for hiring illegal immigrants.

The Arizona law gives the state the right to suspend or terminate business licenses.

“If you hire a person in this country illegally knowingly, you’ll lose your license. First offense, 10 days. Second offense, revocation, never to do business in the state of Arizona again,” said Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican who helped draft the new controversial Arizona law that cracks down on illegal immigrants.

The Obama administration apparently worries letting that law stand would leave in place a precedent that states have a legitimate role in enforcing immigration laws – a notion the administration fiercely opposes.

“The argument that the Justice Department is making here, is you know, the fundamental question, which is where does state authority begin and end when it comes to federal immigration law?” said Benjamin Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Council.
