NYC BAR ASSOCIATION REPORT ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW S.B. 1070

The Arizona Anti-Immigration Act is unconstitutional on a number of grounds and should not be adopted by other states, according to a report released by the New York City Bar Association. The report, prepared by the Association’s Committee on Immigration and Nationality Law, examines the principal provisions of the Act and finds that they are pre- empted by federal law and violate the First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Here is the press release.
