Bilbray Op-Ed in North County Times: Arizona Law Result of Federal Failures

Brian BilbrayBrian Bilbray Leave a Comment

Critics of immigration reform have been up in arms over Arizona’s decision to implement the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act,” or state Senate Bill 1070, into law. What the critics fail to recognize is that the state has been forced to act on illegal immigration because the federal government, who is constitutionally responsible for immigration enforcement, has failed to address this problem on its own.
