Governor Jan Brewer still fighting the illegal immigration phenomenon
Although District Judge Susan Bolton has ruled to favor the delay of the enforcement of Arizona’s most controversial illegal immigration law, protesters against the law marched din Phoenix.
Hundreds of them gathered at the federal courthouse and others stroke the doors of the county jail. Similar protests took place in Los Angeles, New York City and Mexico and more than 50 of the people that participated in the protests were arrested. During the last few weeks, Arizona became the center of the nation’s illegal immigration law debate, mainly because it is estimated to host 460,000 illegal immigrants in the entire state. United States District Judge Susan Bolton has temporarily put on hold some of the most controversial parts of the law, like the requirement that police officers check a person’s immigration status whenever they want, without having any reason to suspect that person and delayed others, like the one that required all the immigrants to carry their papers with them at all times and that prohibited illegal immigrants from searching for work in public places. In fact, what has changed under the new law is that it is a state crime to transport illegal immigrants. But the illegal immigrants declare that they are not more afraid now than they were before this new law.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is fighting the illegal immigration phenomenon, and is trying to secure the border and deport the existing illegal immigrants. This is what made her famous, after signing the nation’s most harsh immigration bill in April and she says that she did it to strengthen Arizona’s security within its borders. Governor Jan Brewer was born in Hollywood, California before she married and moved to Arizona in the early 1970s. Here she gave birth to three sons and started her political career by involving in school politics. After that she became Arizona’s secretary of state and eventually replaced Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano when she left for the Obama administration
