81 Members of Congress File 'Friend of the Court' Brief Supporting Arizona in US v. Arizona WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02), a member of the Immigration Reform Caucus, Congressman Brian Bilbray (CA-50), Chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, and Congressman Lamar Smith (TX-21), Ranking Member on the Judiciary Committee, have filed an Amicus Curiae, or Friend of the Court Brief, with the United States District Court in Arizona in regards to the Obama Administration’s lawsuit US v. Arizona. The brief supports Arizona and was filed on behalf of the bipartisan Immigration Reform Caucus, 76 Members of the House of Representatives and five U.S. Senators. The brief explains how the Obama Administration’s claim that Arizona’s law, SB 1070, preempts federal immigration law is without merit.
Congressman Franks stated, "President Obama is going to end up having to sue several states, including Rhode Island and others, if the Administration wants to sue everyone who tries to enforce immigration law. This is in addition to the numerous other states who have either introduced legislation similar to Arizona's (such as Michigan, South Carolina, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania,) and as many as 15 others have expressed a desire to pass a law similar to SB 1070. The American people want an effective, enforced federal immigration policy and secure borders. The last thing this ridiculous lawsuit is doing is making our laws more clear or our border more secure, and President Obama must continue to hear that the Members who signed this brief, along with the American people, strongly oppose the ongoing politicization of this serious national security and federal immigration issue."
"Arizona has every right to defend itself against illegal immigration," said Congressman Bilbray. "The federal government has failed to live up to its responsibility to enforce federal law concerning immigration, and Arizona's law does not preempt federal statutes. It is time to stop playing politics, roll up our sleeves and get to work on a bipartisan immigration bill that addresses America's border security, goes after employers who exploit illegal immigrants and reduces identity theft."
Bilbray continued, "I stand by my claim: the bipartisan Immigration Reform Caucus is ready and willing to meet with President Obama to address bipartisan and meaningful immigration reform."
Ranking Member on the Committee on the Judiciary Lamar Smith said, "The Obama administration is wrong to sue the State of Arizona. The Arizona law is favored by a majority of Arizonans and Americans. Also the Arizona law mirrors federal law and is only necessary because the Obama administration has failed to do its job. Instead of suing Arizona, the Obama administration should stand up for citizens and legal immigrants, enforce our immigration laws and secure the border."

The Money Monitor: The only document that tracks the costs of bills as they pass the House
Message from Congressman John Shadegg: One DAY Obama Deficit Bigger than One YEAR Republican Deficit It sounds unbelievable, but it’s no sick joke. Under the Obama Administration, America has now experienced a ONE DAY debt increase that is larger than the entire deficit for fiscal year 2007, the last year a Republican Congress controlled the budget. Yes, it’s true. When you woke up on June 30th, whether you knew it or not, your household and Americans across the nation were saddled with a $166 billion single-day increase in American debt (according to the Washington Times, that’s nearly $1,500 for every U.S. household, or more than 10 times the median daily household income). In fact, all three of the biggest one day increases have occurred under the Obama regime, and, according to the article, all six of the biggest have occurred in the last two years. What are we leaving our grandchildren and great-grandchildren? The truth: the legacy of the Obama Administration will undoubtedly be that it added mounds to our federal debt, which may be impossible to recover from. If you have a moment, click here to read The Washington Times’ account of this horrific day in our Nation’s history.
Assembly-Line Medicine: by Pastor Chuck Baldwin I cannot say it forcefully enough: the newly created Obamacare bills are among the most evil and most reprehensible laws ever passed in Congress, the result of which will destroy quality health care (except for the rich and powerful); create perhaps the largest federal bureaucracy (complete with ubiquitous government enforcers) ever seen; increase the size and scope of the IRS to harass, seize, and imprison; and drive up health care costs, federal spending, federal deficits, and, yes, taxes.........
