The United States of America has filed  suit against the State of Arizona.

No more rumors today is the day it all starts. Some critics  have expressed concern that the  suit is drafted too broadly to succeed and thus premature. Others feel this this is  a frontal attack that will gain momentum and support once the issues are fully addressed before the American public.

Please take a moment to read US v Arizona now and report back to share your comment.

The main areas being addressed are employment, identification/drivers licenses and law enforcement, but states are also reviewing policies concerning education, health and benefits. Some examples of the bills are as follows:

Employment
Forty-one states addressed the E-Verify system, immigrant eligibility for unemployment compensation and other employment verification systems.

Identification/Driver’s Licenses
Most of the bills dealt with lawful immigration status or citizenship requirement for driver’s licenses and other state issued licenses such as hunting, retail and professional licenses.

Law Enforcement
The controversial issue of local governments enforcing federal immigration laws was addressed by a number of states, including cooperative agreements in which states can enter a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Homeland Security for such enforcement.

The Immigration debate continues as leaders from the Center for American Progress, NAACP, AFL-CIO, the National Council of La Raza, agriculture industry, and other groups gathered on June 3, 2009 to begin a national campaign for reform of the immigration laws. More than 700 advocates from over 35 states are participating in meetings, town halls, training and lobbying visits to encourage Congress to act.

The question, of course, is whether in this time of economic downturn Congress will have the ability to reach a consensus. John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress said, “we need solutions that restore the rule of law while aiding our economy by making taxpayers of all immigrants. So, to those opponents of reform we say this – immigration reform and economic recovery are not at odds with each other, but go hand in hand.”
