Arizona Law

Opponents of the justice department lawsuit challenging the enforcement of Arizona’s controversial illegal-immigration law have hit upon a strategy to highlight what they contend is a gaping inconsistency in the Justice Department’s policy priorities. Why should federal attorneys be targeting the Arizona law as an alleged obstacle to coherent and centralized enforcement of federal immigration statutes, they argue, while Justice officials also have done nothing to challenge the legal status of so-called sanctuary cities, which effectively block enforcement of the same federal law?

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge in Phoenix to stop Arizona’s law from going into effect this Thursday, arguing that the measure interferes with federal immigrant But critics, including california and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, are challenging the logic of Justice’s move, arguing that if U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder really cared about enforcing federal immigration law, he should be targeting sanctuary cities instead of Arizona.More than 30 cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Denver, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Dallas, have local ordinances on the books that prevent police from asking about a person’s immigration status. The Arizona law would allow officers to question a person’s immigration status and report them to federal authorities if that person is believed to be in the country illegally. The crackdown could prompt illegal immigrants to seek refuge out of Arizona and into those sanctuary cities.

A Justice Department official told the Washington Times there is nothing hypocritical about the government going after Arizona while ignoring sanctuary cities and suggested it won’t step up enforcement. Administration officials say they want to seek and deport criminal immigrants. Indeed, a recent Washington Post report found that deportation of illegal immigrants has spiked significantly under the Obama administration. But federal officials insist they don’t have the capability or resources to remove the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who haven’t had run-ins with the police.

“There is a big difference between a state or locality saying they are not going to use their resources to enforce a federal law, as so-called sanctuary cities have done, and a state passing its own immigration policy that actively interferes with federal law,” Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told the Times’ Stephen Dinan and Kara Rowland. “That’s what Arizona did in this case.”

But even if Arizona’s law goes into effect on schedule on July 29, the debate over sanctuary cities — which sprouted up mainly in the 1980s to give refuge to exiles from El Salvador’s deadly civil war — is hardly over. Hunter is sponsoring legislation in Congress that would force the Justice Department to crack down on cities that don’t enforce immigration laws— though it’s not likely to come to a vote before next year.

landslide in China

A village in southern China is suffering after an enormous landslide — triggered by an overwhelming rainstorm — buried dozens of homes, the associated press reports Photos of the aftermath paint a stark picture of lives and livelihoods destroyed.

This is only the most recent flood and landslide to strike China. So far this year, floods have killed at least 823 people and inflicted tens of billions of dollars in property damage — and more rains are expected I guess.

California F.E.G

California joined 17 other states, plus the District of Columbia, on the list of finalists for more than $3 billion in federal grants under the Race to the Top education reform program.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan is scheduled to formally announce the list of round-two finalists later today during a press conference at the National Press Club.

A total of 36 states competed for the second round of funding.

California ranked 27th out of 41 applicants this past spring.

A Race to the Top grant could mean $400 million for cash-strapped California.

To increase its chances of being selected, the state took a different approach by having six local district superintendents, including Los Angeles Unified’s School Chief Ramon Cortines, write the application.

The superintendents, who also included chiefs from the Fresno, Long Beach, San Francisco, Sanger and Clovis school districts, were selected to participate in the application based on some of the independent reforms they have made.

For example, the changes proposed to the teacher and principal evaluations in the application were largely based on the plan laid out by LAUSD officials that includes using test data to measure the performance of educators and proposes to increase the time it takes for teachers to become tenured.

R.A.T.M for your rights!

Rage Against The Machine will reportedly protest Arizona’s new immigration laws at a concert next week.

According to Contactmusic, the rock band will join Conor Oberst in an effort to boycott the state until a new bill is passed.

The event will take place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, which marks the band’s first hometown concert in a decade.

Last month, Rage Against The Machine’s London gig descended into chaos after hundreds of fans without tickets forced their way into the concert.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g_MNpS9hM0
