News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Judge sets hearing on new sanctions law

A federal judge will hold a hearing Tuesday on a request from a coalition of business groups to temporarily block Arizona's employer-sanctions law from taking effect Jan. 1.

But in his order setting the hearing, U.S. District Court Judge Neil V. Wake made it clear he was not impressed with the groups' argument that quick action is needed to prevent "irreparable injury" to Arizona businesses.

"(T)he urgency that Plaintiffs feel is of their own making," Wake wrote. As early as September, he noted, they were on notice that they may be making a tactical error in not suing at least one of the 15 county attorneys charged with enforcing the sanctions law.

That error proved to be costly. Late last week, Wake dismissed the lawsuit, saying the business and Hispanic groups bringing the challenge had indeed sued the wrong parties.
