U.S. SUPREME COURT TO HEAR ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW CASE

The U.S. Supreme Court granted Certiorari (a writ to hear the case) in the ongoing battle of state immigration laws. Arizona's SB1070 will be scrutinized by the highest court to determine whether some provisions are constitutional, for example the provisions requiring all immigrants to carry immigration papers, the provisions giving power to the police to arrest suspected undocumented immigrants without a warrant or probable cause.
I am sure this will also have effect on the Georgia immigration law HB87 and Alabama's HB56.
It will take a long time before a hearing is scheduled.
