QuoteJudge Upholds 'Show Your Papers' Arizona Immigration Law

A federal judge has upheld part of Arizona's contentious immigration law, rejecting claims that the so-called "show your papers" section discriminated against Hispanics.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Friday was on the last of seven challenges to the 2010 law. The section she upheld allows police in Arizona to check the immigration status of anyone they stop.

Bolton ruled that immigration rights activists failed to show that police would enforce the law differently for Hispanics than other people. The section is sometimes called the "show your papers" provision.

She also upheld a section that let police check to see if a detainee is in the United States illegally. Bolton voided any laws targeting day labor.

Not a complete win but is a definite win none the less!
