Quote:Q: What's the Obama administration's argument against the Arizona immigration law? A: While most of the criticism of the law has been that it could encourage racial profiling, the administration's challenge is based on the so-called supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution -- that when state and federal laws conflict, federal law is supreme. In this case, the administration is saying that anything that relates to foreign policy or relations with other countries is strictly the province of the federal government and that Arizona's law interferes with a federal function. Q: What do proponents of the law say? A: That the federal government isn't doing enough to secure the borders and tackle an issue they say is plaguing the state's economy and safety. Brewer, a Republican, said that the Arizona law was designed "to complement, not supplant, enforcement of federal immigration laws, Q: What happens next? A: A federal judge is likely to take up the issue as soon as next week, reports indicate. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said the lawsuit is most likely headed up the appeals court chain. "I think this will go to the district court in Arizona first, but it is likely to be appealed to the circuit court of appeals and very likely to the U.S. Supreme Court," he said. Q: What do Americans think about the law? A: According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll conducted in May, 57 percent of the public favored the measure, with 37 percent opposed. Since then, national polls by Quinnipiac University (51-31 percent in favor), ABC News/Washington Post (58-41 percent in favor) and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics (52-27 percent in favor) also indicate that a majority back the new law. Most of the surveys also indicate that a vast majority want border security beefed up, and that most Americans also favor giving illegal immigrants now living in the U.S. the right to live here legally if they pay a fine and meet other requirements. Q: What's the outlook for federal immigration reform legislation? A: Several senior Democratic sources said last week they see virtually no chance of Congress taking up such a measure before November's midterm elections. Still, the sources said it was politically crucial for the president to put pressure on Republicans and reassure angry Latino voters that Democrats haven't forgotten about this issue. Immigration is not necessarily a make-it-or-break-it issue for the influential voting bloc. A Pew study released in 2008 indicated that Latinos placed immigration second to last on a list of seven policy priorities. The economy, education and health care were ranked as more important. But in the months since Arizona passed its immigration law, more recent surveys have indicated that the issue has risen to the top for Latinos. A survey commissioned by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials indicates that the immigration debate has made Latinos more likely to vote in November.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: In number 1, while it adds that most of the argument has been about racial profiling, it explains the basis of the administration’s lawsuit. In number 2, explains that proponents say the federal government isn’t doing enough, which is absolutely true. I’ve long believed the law was a move on their part to FORCE the government to deal with the issue. I think it got turned around into something else with a different result than its original intent. Number 3 just explains the process from here on. Number 4 notes what various surveys say. Number 5 says it probably won’t be dealt with by the federal government at least for a while, and that while immigration was a low priority for Latinos before, the law has made it much more important to them. How does that constitute “moron”? What Arizonans think of the law is not "the" question, it is one of the questions. There were only five put up in this article, and they were for inforamtion purposes. I just thought anyone who didn't know about them might find them illuminating. I don't see it as biased; or is it just your dislike of me that brought about the instinctive reaction? By the way, that's a pretty weak signature, quoting yourself at your ugliest, then quoting Mike and making an ugly snark. One would think you could do better, but I guess you can't find enough nasty stuff from others, eh?
