PHOENIX -- An Arizona congressman urged the Obama administration not to
cooperate when illegal immigrants are picked up by local police if a tough
new state immigration law survives legal challenges.
U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat, and civil rights activists spoke on
Sunday to thousands of people gathered at the state Capitol and called on
President Barack Obama to fight the law, promising to march in the streets
and invite arrest by refusing to comply.
"We're going to overturn this unjust and racist law, and then we're going
to overturn the power structure that created this unjust, racist law,"
Grijalva said.
Obama has called the new law "misguided" and instructed the Justice
Department to examine it to see if it's legal. It requires police to
question people about their immigration status - including asking for
identification - if they suspect someone is in the country illegally.
Opponents say it would lead to racial profiling because officers would be
more likely to ask people who look Hispanic.
Supporters have dismissed concerns about profiling, saying the law
prohibits the use of race or nationality as the sole basis for an
immigration check. Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the measure Friday, has
ordered state officials to develop a training course for officers to learn
what constitutes reasonable suspicion someone is in the U.S. illegally.
State Sen. Russell Pearce, the Mesa Republican who sponsored the
legislation, said it's "pretty disappointing" that opponents would call on
the federal government to refuse to cooperate with Arizona authorities.
"It's outrageous that these people continue to support law breakers over
law keepers," Pearce said Sunday.
State may signal Arizona immigration law's fate

(04-25) 17:12 PDT San Francisco -- The last time a state aimed its laws at
illegal immigrants, it was rebuked by a federal judge.
"The state is powerless to enact its own scheme to regulate immigration,"
U.S. District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer said in a ruling striking down
California's Proposition 187, a 1994 initiative that sought to deny health
and welfare benefits and public schooling to the undocumented.
Pfaelzer said California voters were understandably frustrated with
ineffective federal enforcement of immigration laws. But no matter how
serious the problem, she said, "the authority to regulate immigration
belongs exclusively to the federal government."
It's a message that may soon be heard in Arizona, where another effort to
use state laws to combat illegal immigration is headed for court.
Since Pfaelzer's 1995 decision, federal judges in Pennsylvania and Texas
have issued similar rulings overturning local ordinances that prohibited
illegal immigrants from renting homes or apartments.
No appeals court has yet reviewed the extent of a state or local
government's power to adopt laws based on a resident's immigration status.
But the district court rulings foreshadow legal difficulties for a new
Arizona law that is far broader than any measure the courts have yet
considered.
Signed Friday by Gov. Jan Brewer, and due to take effect in a little more
than 90 days, the law makes it a crime for an immigrant to be in Arizona
without proof of legal status, and requires police to try to determine the
immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect of being in the
country illegally.
Growing Split in Arizona Over Immigration

Immigration has always polarized residents of Arizona, a major gateway for
illegal immigrants. But the new law signed by Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday
has widened the chasm in a way few here can remember.
The law barring expected legal challenges before it takes effect this
summer also gives the local police broad powers to check documentation
when practicable of anyone they reasonably suspect is an illegal
immigrant.
It has already shaken up politics in the state, and it sets the stage for
a rematch on a national debate between the punitive and the practical
solutions to the nations illegal immigration issue.
But the arguments are less abstract in Arizona, home to an estimated
450,000 illegal immigrants and to the busiest stretch of illegal crossings
along the Mexican border.
While demonstrators massed at the Capitol, including a few thousand Sunday
afternoon denouncing the law as unconstitutional and an open invitation
for racial profiling, the undercurrents that gave rise to the bill pushed
as strong as ever.
The sponsor of the bill, a state senator and retired sheriffs deputy whose
passion is to drive out the states illegal immigrants and deter more from
coming, lives here in Mesa, a Phoenix suburb that is the states
third-largest city.
It has landed in the cauldron of debate, with a former police chief
publicly warring with the county sheriff over the merits of his crime
suppression sweeps a couple of years ago that focused on illegal
immigrants.
Mesa has grown blisteringly fast in the last few decades, to about 450,000
residents from 63,000 in 1970, with Southern California-style walled
subdivisions and gated communities blanketing former farmland.
The economy soared until recently, but the blitz of development proved
unsettling to some.
