IV 111th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1380 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 20, 2010 Mr. Barrett of South Carolina submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Applauding the State of Arizona for asserting its 10th Amendment rights, protecting its citizens, and safeguarding its jobs, and calling upon the Administration to act immediately to enforce our Nation’s immigration laws.

Whereas the 10th Amendment to the Constitution provides as follows: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.; Whereas citizens of the United States should not have to wait for the Federal Government to enforce laws that are already on the books; Whereas it is a violation of section 275(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act unlawfully to enter into the United States; Whereas the State of Arizona, due to lack of action on the part of the Federal Government, has taken on the task of fighting illegal immigration in that State; Whereas, on April 23, 2010, the Governor of Arizona signed into law SB 1070, the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act; Whereas this law makes it a violation of Arizona State law for individuals to be in that State without proper documentation; and Whereas the bill protects against racial profiling and discrimination by stating that the State may not consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1)applauds the State of Arizona for asserting its 10th Amendment rights, protecting its citizens, and safeguarding American jobs; and (2)calls upon the Administration to act immediately to enforce our Nation’s immigration laws.
