CNN -- July 27 Pilgrim: Well presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama voiced support for yesterday's court ruling that struck down Hazleton's illegal immigration law. Senator Obama called the federal court ruling a victory for all Americans. The senator said comprehensive reform is needed so local communities do not continue to take matters into their own hands. Senator Obama was a supporter of the Senate's failed immigration bill, which would have given amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney took a strong stand against chain migration today....

Court voids Hazleton, Pa., law targeting illegal immigrants
By Alan Gomez, USA TODAY
A Hazleton, Pa., law that targeted illegal immigrants and served as a model for similar laws around the country was struck down by a federal appeals court Thursday.
The law, passed in 2006 but held up by lawsuits, would have allowed the city to revoke the licenses of businesses that employed illegal immigrants and fine landlords who rented to them. The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled that the law infringed on the federal government's exclusive power to regulate immigration.

"It is, of course, not our job to sit in judgment of whether state and local frustration about federal immigration policy is warranted," wrote Chief Judge Theodore McKee. "We are, however, required to intervene when states and localities directly undermine the federal objectives embodied in statutes enacted by Congress."

Mayor Lou Barletta said the city will appeal.

"This ruling is a loss for Hazleton and its legal residents," he said. "It is also a blow to the rights of the legal immigrants who choose to call Hazleton their home."

The ruling follows the July decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton to halt Arizona's immigration-enforcement law, which would have required police officers to determine the immigration status of suspects stopped for another offense if there was "reasonable suspicion" they were in the country illegally. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer is appealing that decision.

The Hazleton law was the model for similar laws passed around the country, said Omar Jadwat, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants' Rights Project, who argued against the Hazleton law before the appeals court.

After 84 state immigration laws of different kinds were passed in 2006, more than 200 were passed by state legislatures in each of the next three years, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

"I think it's especially significant that the parent of all of these laws has been pretty conclusively found unconstitutional by a federal court of appeals," Jadwat said.

Gabriel Chin, a University of Arizona Rogers College of Law professor, said those rulings will halt the wave of immigration laws as legislators realize the costs of defending them.

"They are going to put the brakes on around the country on anti-immigrant legislation because it begins to look like a costly proposition," Chin said.

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates tighter immigration controls, said Thursday's ruling "makes it almost certain" that the Supreme Court will weigh in on states trying to enforce immigration law.

Another Arizona law passed in 2007 that fined businesses hiring illegal immigrants has been upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear that case this year.

Meanwhile, Krikorian said, Thursday's ruling will help Barletta, a Republican who is running for Congress, and others who argue that they are trying to enforce immigration laws in the absence of federal action. That strategy has propelled Brewer's popularity in Arizona as she fights the lawsuit led by the Justice Department.
