U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton Puts on Hold Key Provisions in Arizona Illegal Immigration Bill Many Fear will Lead to Racial Profiling

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton blocks key provisions in the controversial Arizona illegal immigration bill many fear would lead to racial profiling.

BREAKING: U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has blocked key provisions in the controversial Arizona illegal immigration law that will take effect on Thursday. Provisions such as the requirement of police officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws has been put on hold. Further, the judge also put on hold a part of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places. These provisions have been put on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

I have never felt comfortable with people being forced to walk around with their papers. This is akin to the black South Africans being forced to carry passbooks during Apartheid. So, before all the conservatives throw this judge under a bus, you have Republican Sen. Jon Kyl to thank for recommending her to President Bill Clinton and, I might add, she was unanimously confirmed. That means many Republicans voted for along with Democrats. So, she isn't as liberal as all the critics think. CLICK HERE to read more about Judge Bolton and the judicial rulings she has made.
