Stands with Arizonas fight for a Safe & Secure State for their citizens to live"
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court struck down most of a key immigration reform law passed by Arizona but State & Local Law Enforcement officers will still be allowed to use their judgment when it comes to verifying immigration status during a traffic stop detention or arrest. I am disappointed because when Washington fails to do its job to keep citizens secure the states ought to be able to act" said U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady.
In my view President Obama should be working with local law enforcement to secure our borders not fighting our states in the courts. The Presidents amnesty first ideology has real consequences for families and businesses in border states like ours" said the Texas Congressman.
In the same case the court upheld the Arizona provision allowing local law enforcement to check a suspects immigration status.
Im pleased that provision was upheld but I strongly disagree with the rest of the Supreme Courts decision in this case. Our states should never be forced to risk the safety of their citizens because of the White Houses failure to enforce our nations immigration laws.
I hope Arizona and other states continue fighting for their right to have a safe and secure state for their citizens to live" Brady said.
