High Court Signals Receptivity To Arizona's Anti-Immigration
Legislation Which Could Result In Mass Incarceration Of Latinos
With
Isabel Garcia, Director of Derechos Humanos, in Tucson, Arizona
Foster Maer, Senior Litigation Counsel of Latino Justice, PRLDEF
The lawyer arguing against provisions in Arizona’s anti-immigration law
said that if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds SB 1070 there could be
“mass incarceration” of Latinos. And, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer who
had signed the proposed legislation into law in 2010 agreed as she stood
on the court house steps after its argument that incarceration of Arizona’s
estimated 400,000 undocumented immigrants was up for consideration,
if the highest court lifted the block on SB1070’s enforcement. During oral
argument on SB 1070 by the high court Justice Scalia cynically suggested
mass incarceration could be avoided by “simply deporting these people,”
and in the one-hour argument both conservative and liberal justices
expressed skepticism to the challenges to the Arizona law, filling
immigrants, and immigration advocates with apprehension. Meanwhile,
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana and Utah have proposed or
enacted similar legislation and await the court’s ruling expected in June.
We’ll parse out the arguments and discuss what’s at stake for the
country's immigrant populations, and the fabric of democracy.
