PHOENIX - A federal judge said Tuesday he’s leaning against temporarily blocking enforcement of Arizona’s new law penalizing businesses that employ illegal immigrants, partly because the interests of law-abiding workers must be considered. U.S. District Judge Neil Wake did not rule but told lawyers in the case that he’s inclined to turn down a request from business groups for a temporary restraining order blocking the law that takes effect Jan. 1. Wake said a major factor in his reasoning is the challengers’ failure to initially include county attorneys - the officials who would enforce the law - as defendants early in the case along with state officials… Unauthorized workers compete for jobs with legal workers and depress wages, Wake said during a 2 1/2-hour hearing during which 21 attorneys for state and government agencies and business and other advocacy groups sat in the attorney section of the courtroom.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
