Document:
After reading the complaint in its entirety, we have to say that it’s mostly stupid.
The law was hotly criticized by the Obama administration even before it was enacted back in April, so it’s no surprise that this action was filed. We’re surprised it took this long to do it. And we’re even more surprised, given how long it took, that the feds did such a shoddy job of it.
Tells Arizona police they have to verify someone’s lawful presence if, during an otherwise lawful stop, they have reasonable suspicion that the person might be here unlawfully. §11-1051(B) [referred to as Section 2 in the complaint].
Amends existing law, permitting police to make a warrantless arrest if the officer has probable cause to believe that a misdemeanor or felony has occurred, to add that the police can make a warrantless arrest on probable cause to believe the suspect committed an offense for which he could be deported. §11-1051(E) [in Section 2 of the bill, but perplexingly referred to as Section 6 in the complaint].
says Arizona citizens can sue for money damages if any Arizona state or local official or agency “adopts or implements a policy” of not enforcing federal immigration laws to the extent permitted by federal law. §11-1051(G) [Section 2].
makes it a crime of trespassing to be present in Arizona in violation of federal law. §13-1509(A) [Section 3].
amends existing state law against smuggling human beings (§13-2319 [Section 4]) to permit the police to stop a car they reasonably suspect to be in violation of both a traffic law and the already-existing law against smuggling.
prohibits illegal aliens from seeking work in the state. §13-2928(C) [Section 5].
makes it illegal for “a person who is in violation of a criminal offense” to transport or harbor illegal aliens. §13-2929(A) [Section 5].
The general argument the feds make is deliciously ironic: Requiring compliance with federal law would conflict with federal law. At first glance, it seems like everyone at the DOJ who approved this complaint skipped Logic 101, and listened instead to John Cleese’s logic monologue on the Holy Grail album. But this is not really the stupid bit.
Their argument is more along the lines of (1) the feds get to determine policy of how and when the feds enforce their own laws; (2) Arizona isn’t telling the feds what to do, but it’s going to be enforcing the same laws more thoroughly; so (3) Arizona is messing with the feds’ policy. This is one of the stupid bits, because nowhere does Arizona tell the feds what to do or how to do it.
