AZ - (why have laws if they cant be enforced?) A judge has barred Maricopa County officials from enforcing two Arizona identity-theft laws that have been used to convict hundreds of immigrant workers. Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said the ruling underscores yet again the consequences of federal inaction and the Obama administrations indifference to the effects of unlawful immigration practices. While pretending to address the concerns of people admittedly violating the law, the victims of identity theft are deprived of the state of Arizonas protection. Appealing the grant of a preliminary injunction is under review, Montgomery added in a statement. Arpaio said the citizens of Maricopa County have been stripped of another protection that this state attempted to enact to protect the integrity and identity of its citizens. I do not understand how federal law can pre-empt state law when the federal government has proven it has no desire to protect its citizens in these areas. abc15/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/maricopa-county-barred-from-prosecuting-job-related-id-theft-cases
