Excuses are the tools of the weak and incompetent. Used to build monuments of nothingness. Those who excel in it seldom excel in anything else but excuses.

Do you consider yourselves to be incompetent?

USA TODAY]

U.S. sues to block Arizona immigration law
WASHINGTON — The U.S. government filed its long-anticipated legal challenge to a controversial Arizona immigration law Tuesday, claiming that the state law encroaches on the federal responsibilty for immigration enforcement and that Arizona had "crossed a constitutional line."
The federal lawsuit escalates the volatile national debate on illegal immigration and comes just 23 days before the Arizona law is set to take effect. The law requires police to question the immigration status of suspects when there is reasonable suspicion that they are in the country illegally.

Government lawyers charged in court documents that the Arizona statute threatened to give rise to a "patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country" prohibited by federal law and the Constitution.

"Arizonans are understandably frustrated with illegal immigration, and the federal government has a responsibility to comprehensively address those concerns," Attorney General Eric Holder said. "Setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration laws (are) a national responsibility. Seeking to address the issue through a patchwork of state laws will only create more problems than it solves."

In blunt language, the government's lawsuit charges that the Arizona law is "expressly designed to rival or supplant" the federal government's responsibility for immigration enforcement, "critically undermines U.S. foreign policy objectives … and creates an unprecedented independent immigration scheme that exceeds constitutional boundaries."

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says the law is necessary because the government has failed to secure the vast southwest border, allowing drug and human smuggling networks to thrive in Arizona and other border states.

Latino rights advocates, meanwhile, say the law improperly targets Latinos and exposes them to increased scrutiny based on ethnicity and race.

"Latinos across the country are feeling relief today," says Foster Maer, an attorney with New York-based LatinoJustice. "The DOJ is telling the court in Arizona that immigration policy isn't a nightstick to be waived in the face of every Latino walking down the street."

Reaction to the lawsuit was swift.

Republican Rep. Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona's Sixth District, criticized the administration's decision to sue. In a statement he said, "This lawsuit is a grossly misdirected effort. Rather than challenging the Arizona law, the Obama administration's time would be much better spent working with Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would address the nation's underlying immigration problems."

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ranking member, released a statement that said "for President Obama to stand in the way of a state which has taken action to stand up for its citizens against this daily threat of violence and fear is disgraceful and a betrayal of his constitutional obligation to protect our citizens."

Issa, also a member of the House Judiciary Committee, joined with 19 House Republicans Tuesday in sending a letter to Holder criticizing the Obama administration's decision to challenge Arizona's law.

Petra Falcon is the executive director of Promise Arizona, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to recruiting, training and supporting a new generation of leaders from across the state to build a new Arizona.

"For 75 days we've been praying for this law to be struck down," he said in a statement. "Today marks an important step in preventing a grave civil rights injustice to the people of Arizona. We applaud the Obama administration for standing up to this misguided law and re-establishing that immigration enforcement is a federal matter."

"The Arizona law is a law-enforcement nightmare that potentially turns witnesses and crime victims into suspects and will make legitimate law-enforcement work much more difficult," said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Task Force on Immigration and an Illinois Democrat. "The federal government has a responsibility to step in when states get U.S. law so fundamentally wrong."

Thank you for asking E-Big Sister Versatile oka
The Virgo G ddess of Justice
. My personal opinion may not be a popular one. I think that the government is responsible for the current immigration "problem" and I find it funny that NOW its a problem...but I digress. If you are here illegally(meaning you have no papers, no green card, etc.), you are a criminal. There are LEGAL immigrants and I don't have any issue with that. I understand opportunities here are better than they are in most countries but I think that following the rules and laws of our country are important and a sign of respect. However, I think Arizona's law is just a front for racial profiling. My personal opinion...no offense to anybody.

mmhhhmm.... so what would you propose to do with the millions of immigrants who entered the country illegally? it sounds like you would want to get them out of the country; what is a feasible plan for rounding up 12 million people?
