WASHINGTON, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, Utah became the fourth state sued by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for trying to enforce federal immigration laws that the Obama administration refuses to enforce. According to the DOJ complaint, H.B. 497 is preempted by federal authority over immigration policy and is therefore unconstitutional.
While DOJ has acted aggressively to prevent implementation of H.B. 497, a law that mirrors federal immigration statutes, the department declined to challenge another Utah law, H.B. 116, which grants guest worker status to illegal aliens residing in Utah beginning in 2013, even though the Immigration and Nationality Act expressly forbids the employment of illegal aliens. In a statement, DOJ acknowledged that the guest worker...

During the 1960s, many brave men and women fought against bigotry and injustice to secure this most basic right for all Americans. Enacted in 1965, the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the "crown jewel" of our civil rights statutes, was born out of their courage, struggle and sacrifice. It provided protection to minority communities, and prohibited any voting practice that would abridge the right to vote on the basis of race. Any "test or device" for registering or voting was forbidden, thereby abolishing poll taxes and literacy tests.
Section five of the VRA addresses "pre-clearance" and is only applicable in certain parts of the country. State and local political jurisdictions with a documented history of discrimination must submit any proposed changes to their voting laws to the U.S. attorne...
