The U.S. Supreme Court announced this morning it is granting Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's request to review the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' injunction of her State's tough immigration enforcement law, S.B. 1070. (See U.S. Supreme Court Order, Dec. 12, 2011) In April, the 9th Circuit upheld the Arizona District Court's injunction of key provisions of the law. (See U.S. v. Arizona, No. 10-16645 (9th Cir. 2011); see also FAIR Legislative Update April 18, 2011)
Last week, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange sent a memorandum to the state's legislative leaders, recommending that they repeal parts of Alabama's immigration enforcement law, HB 56. (Politico, Dec. 7, 2011) Specifically, Strange recommended repealing the provisions that require aliens to carry their registration documents with them (a provision that mirrors federal law) and the provision that requires schools to collect non-identifiable data on the immigration status of students.

Last week, the House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement held a hearing to discuss the risks and benefits associated with the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). The VWP allows visitors from 36 countries meeting certain criteria to come and stay in the U.S. for tourist or business purposes for up to 90-days without obtaining a visa.
