For Immediate Release Contact: Katherine Vargas April 11th, 2011 cell (202) 641-5198 Ninth Circuit Upholds Injunction Against Arizona's Anti-Immigrant Law Ruling Likely a Preview of Future Demise, Should Give Other States Pause Washington D.C. – Today the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the injunction against Arizona's controversial immigration law SB 1070. The following is a statement from Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum: "In upholding the district court's decision, the Ninth Circuit rightfully concluded that immigration enforcement is the province of the federal executive, and that states do not have power to create their own immigration policies. To date, two federal courts have weighed in on Arizona's law, and today's ruling is widely viewed by legal experts as a preview of its likely demise. Other states considering harsh anti-immigrant legislation should heed today's ruling. Instead of pursuing more state-based, patchwork laws that will never solve our broken immigration system, state leaders should focus their energies on pushing the federal government to solve this crisis through comprehensive immigration reform. A federal fix, and not unconstitutional state-based laws, is the only solution to the broken immigration system. Right now, five states, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are considering harsh, anti-immigrant "papers-please" legislation similar to Arizona's. Besides the obvious legal problems surrounding these types of laws, SB 1070 was disastrous for the Arizona economy, tarnished the state's reputation, would cost tens of millions to implement, and ensured Arizona's taxpayers would spend millions defending the controversial law in court at a time when the state could least afford it. Today's ruling and Arizona's disastrous example should give pause to any state legislator thinking about voting for an Arizona-style bill. While litigation on the merits of SB1070's constitutionality is ongoing in the federal district court in Arizona, the Ninth Circuit's decision is both correct and good news. Although not a final decision on the law's validity, this ruling is a good indicator that immigration law is a federal power and the courts will likely rule Arizona's law unconstitutional.
