A federal appellate court on Thursday asked the lawyers representing Arizona flat out whether the state was motivated by racism in its refusal to give driver's licenses and ID cards to young, undocumented immigrants, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Judge Harry Pregerson, who was appointed to the 9th Circuit Court in 1979 by President Carter, asked the Arizona legal team if there was any reason to deny licenses to DREAMers beyond racism.
“Does it come down to racism? Does it come down to discrimination against these people? What else does it come down to?” he asked.
In reply, Arizona Assistant Attorney General Dominic Draye replied. “Judge, I wish you wouldn’t say things like that."
Following a lower court ruling, Arizona started issuing licenses and ID cards in February for the immigrants who qualified for the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.
“They’re part of our culture, they’ve gone to our schools, they’ve made contributions,” Pregerson said on Thursday.
great question there's some lawyer code where you don't ask questions you know the answer to, my guess he knew the answer as did the defense saying "i wish you wouldn't say things like that", why because he's oblidged to tell the truth and that would sink his ship at the dock????
doesn't say what his answer was but we know to deny American citizens America and all it promises just because your parents aren't Americans is illegal and shows your desire not to have any of them here in a position to vote against them eventually. if they were to act in a civil humane manor they might not have to worry about immigrants not voting for them because they hate the immigrants, common sense oxymoron in republican speak.
if they want to deny them by rights they need to deny Ted Cruz the Cuban, Canadian, American from political office but since he agrees with their philosophy of hate and bigotry he's ok even though he's pissing them off.
