MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A Supreme Court decision both
striking down parts of Arizona's illegal immigration law and upholding a key
provision clears the way for a ruling on a similar law in Alabama.
Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange says the decision
Monday means the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals can now decide whether
Alabama's law is constitutional.
The Supreme Court ruled that parts of Arizona's law are
unconstitutional, but it says police there can check the immigration status of
people they encounter. Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard says that section is
the real teeth of the law in Alabama and other states.
But the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center calls
the ruling a major blow to state crackdowns on illegal immigration. The law
center is among the groups fighting Alabama's law.
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley on Monday issued the
following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Arizona's immigration
law.
"While Alabama's anti-illegal immigration law has
similar provisions as Arizona's law, the laws are not identical. We will
analyze the Supreme Court opinion to see what potential effect it might have on
the provisions of Alabama's law. State laws on immigration are required
because the federal government has refused to enforce its own immigration
policies. The bottom line to Alabama's law is this: if you live and work
in the state, you must do so legally. The people of Alabama want a strong
immigration law, and I will keep my commitment to uphold and enforce Alabama's
anti-illegal immigration law.
The core of Arizona's anti-illegal immigration law
remains. The Supreme Court has affirmed that states can determine how
they will interpret and enforce their anti-illegal immigration laws. We
are pleased that the Court recognizes the important roles of states in
enforcing immigration laws."
