An Arizona US District Court has issued today a partial injunction Arizona’s law SB 1070 in regards to illegal immigration into their state.
Judge Susan Bolton has made it clear that she is deeply skeptical of the Department of Justice’s argument that the Arizona law is an illegal preemption of federal law. She blocked some of the toughest provisions in the Arizona illegal immigration law from going into effect tomorrow, putting on hold the state’s attempt to have local police enforce federal immigration policy, but let stand laws to discourage the hiring of illegal immigrants.
All governments have the inherent power to maintain public safety and the security of its citizens. Therefore the state of Arizona was justified in its actions of defending its citizens and enforcing existing federal regulations and border security.
James White, candidate for Texas State Representative District 12,believes that states have the right to defend their borders using the appropriate amount of force deemed necessary by the situation.
“It’s unfortunate that our federal government has used a substantial amount of wealth and time fighting the states in the courts instead of working cooperatively with all state leaders throughout the country in securing our borders,” says James White.
Although HD 12 Incumbent Jim McReynolds (D) speaks publicly about East Texas values, he continues to vote Washington values by supporting illegal immigrants and their voting rights. He arrogantly voted in favor of SB 89, Amendment 4, 79R that would have allowed illegal immigrants to use foreign issued ID as proof of identification to vote. He also callously voted against legislation, HB 218, 80R, which would have required voters to produce a photo ID, prevented voter fraud, and protects ballot integrity. The incumbent even voted to let illegal immigrants get an official Texas driver’s license, HB 25, Amendment 2, 78R; HB 396,77R.
“This is an issue of public safety. It is important that Texas does not issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants to keep our state safe.” James White said.
James White is strongly in favor of state governments using all the appropriate and necessary measures to protect the borders, uphold the Constitution, enforce immigration law and establish domestic order and tranquility.
James White will co-sponsor any Arizona-like immigration law that empowers Texas and Texans to secure our own border.
“We need to protect the integrity of our American system. I, James White, vow to protect the great state of Texas and the great country of America, by securing our borders, and protecting our citizens to the fullest extent of the law and to the best of my abilities. “
