Court Torn on Arizona Immigrant Law

The Supreme Court appears split over an Arizona immigration law that would shut down businesses for knowingly employing illegal immigrants. A host of unusual allies from the Chamber of Commerce to civil rights groups to the Obama administration are challenging the law, passed in 2007, but the conservative justices who sit on the high court seem inclined to preserve it. One attorney called the law a "death penalty" for businesses. The immigration debate in Arizona has been at high heat since the passage of a state bill this summer that allows police to ask for identification from people they suspect are illegal immigrants.
