The Supreme Court decided unanimously that Arizona police officers may check the immigration status of people they stop. Three minor parts of the Arizona law were struck as being in conflict with Federal law. This was a key defeat for Obama administration policy seeking to provide Mexican Homeland Security and the right to cross the U.S. border bootleg style.
Different ways of spinning the same result are highlighted below in the links to Reuters, the BBC and U.S.A. Today's news reports.
The Obama administration held that it was illegal for Arizona law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of people they stop for whatever reason. Their opinion was evidently that only the Federal Government can enforce immigration issues. The Supreme Court seems to hold that states may reinforce Federal laws yet not contradict or subvert them.
The Arizona law requires police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop for whatever reason-not simply after perpetrators are arrested. The Obama administration effort to prefer Mexican Homeland Security over U.S. Homeland Security in this election year may not be well support his election bid. If Condolizza Rice is the V.P. choice Romney would win in a landslide - not even 12 million Latino votes would help.
In 2050 there will be a world population of at least 9 billion with just a little more than 1 billion in present first world nations. If the U.S.A. plans to remain a self-determining nation with a sustainable economy based on its own resources it will need to get started directly instead of insinuating itself into a status as economic exploiter of those human resources as employees and consumers of declining natural resources.
Americans should lead the world toward sustainable national economies without radical shifts of population toward production areas of scare resources and temporary jobs that can lead the world over the edge of demographic-ecospheric viability precedded by chaos and conflict.
