The Supremes just upheld an Arizona law by a 5-3 margin that punished employers for knowingly hiring illegals. The import of this decision is that states have a Constitutional power in the immigration area contrary to the Obama Administration's argument that it is solely a Federal power. As other cases percolate up to the appellate courts, they will now have to be considered on a case-by-case basis, most notably the immigration enforcement bill enacted by Arizona last year that caused all the stink. It is heartening to know that Federalism lives - we are still a Republic - and that is good news for freedom!
