Governor Jan Brewer's response to the motion argued in court today to delay the implementation of Arizona's SB1070 law on July 24th

In sum, Arizona is arguing that illegal immigration is costing the state money and delaying implementation will cause economic damage to the state. Also, they argue that illegal immigrants are dangerous criminals and the citizens of Arizona are in grave danger each day this law is not implemented. According to reports published by the Immigration Policy Center, neither of these things are true.
