Immigration

If RI has the same basic law that has been on the books and has been litigated up through the US Court of Appeals, why is the DOJ trying to sue AZ?  If AZ just puts into evidence the RI cases then the DOJ looses and the people that brought the lawsuit should face charges for "Waste, Fraud, and Malicious Prosecution".  As the RI Gov. said on Fox Saturday morning this is black letter law.  The other question is, why is the DOJ not going after the sanctuary cities?  This is against the law as written and it to has also been adjudicated.  From a Fox news report " Since 1996, it has been illegal for states and municipalities to take any action that prevents the reporting of illegal immigrants to federal immigration authorities. On July 23, the New York Times (search) ran a 1355-word article (which used the term "illegal alien" exactly four times) on New York City's response to a recent Federal Court ruling that compels the city to change a policy it has had for more than a decade. That policy prevented city agencies from reporting illegal aliens (search) to federal immigration authorities."  So the DOJ is violating a Federal Court ruling that has been in place for 14 years by trying to stop AZ from reporting illegals to ICE.  These people in the DOJ are corrupt or incompetent.  I vote for corrupt. More on this in a latter post.
