Florida, Texas Support Arizona’s Immigration Law

Florida, Texas and seven other states filed a brief supporting Arizona’s immigration law aimed at cracking down on illegal migrants after the U.S. government sued to block enforcement of the law.

Arizona’s statute doesn’t establish an immigration policy that would interfere with federal law, countering the U.S. argument, the states said in the filing today in federal court in Phoenix. The law isn’t an “obstacle” to Congress’ objectives, the states wrote.
