How close to Arizona's will be a Florida immigration law?: "Florida International University law professor Ediberto Roman, an expert on immigration issues, told the panel of (state) senators that immigration law remains fundamentally the jurisdiction of the federal government.
'The state of Arizona has told the federal government, 'You have failed in immigration (enforcement), so therefore, we will set our own policies, irrespective of what you say and what you think,' Ronan said, calling the law both 'reactionary' and 'unconstitutional.' He predicted the courts will ultimately strike it down." Jan. 11, 2011
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
