Rep. Taylor Signed on "Friend of the Court" Brief Supporting Arizona's Immigration Law Print

"As a supporter of SB 1070, I am firmly against the Federal government suing Arizona. Along with 76 of my colleagues in the House of Representatives, I have signed the amicus curiae, or friend of the court brief, supporting Arizona in the lawsuit. The brief states in part that Congress has passed various bills which recognize and support state and local governments' cooperation in enforcing immigration laws with the Federal government.

I wholeheartedly support the efforts of the State of Arizona to assist the federal government in enforcing our immigration laws. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill into law on April 23 and the act is scheduled to go into effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session on July 28, 2010. As you know, the act makes it an Arizona state misdemeanor for an alien to be in the state without registration documents required by federal law." -- Rep. Gene Taylor
