U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn has refused to block key elements of Alabama’s tough anti-illegal immigration law, which open borders activists have assailed for its attempt to stop crack down on illegal aliens living as if citizens in the state.

A federal judge has refused to block key parts of Alabama’s new law on illegal immigration, including its requirement to check the immigration status of students.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn blocked some other parts of the law, which both supporters and critics say is the nation’s toughest clampdown on illegal immigration by a state.

Blackburn said in her ruling issued Wednesday that federal law doesn’t prohibit the state from requiring schools to check the immigration status of students or from requiring police to determine the status of suspected illegal immigrants.

She did, however, object to aspects of the law that prohibit illegal aliens from soliciting work and people from transporting or harboring illegal aliens. Which are, um, interesting objections. One would think knowingly assisting an illegal resident continue to live illegally in the country would be…illegal. And considering hiring an illegal alien is illegal, it’s interesting how illegal aliens attempting to get hired despite that law…isn’t illegal.

Ah well. She won’t have the last word, unfortunately. Open borders activists will undoubtedly take this baby to the Supreme Court. Anything to continue the flow of illegal aliens across the border. This way one day, when amnesty finally gets passed, Democrats have a whole new voting block consisting of millions of people.
