Anne Arundel County Delegate Don Dwyer, Jr. has signed on today to legal documents in the case of “The United States of America V. State of Arizona”; and Janice K. Brewer in her official capacity.

The Amicus Brief is calling for the reversal of the courts decision against the State of Arizona regarding the passage of State legislation (SB1070) that authorized the State of Arizona to enforce immigration laws within their state borders.

“This case and and the Federal Courts attack on the State of Arizona is a blatant abuse of Federal power and amounts to tyranny. The State of Maryland and many other States across this Nation are plagued with the cost and crimes associated with illegal immigration. Each State has the Constitutional right to defend itself and its borders against illegal intruders.”

Maryland will join the Arizona legislature and will introduce the same legislation in the 2011 legislative session. If necessary, Dwyer will be the lead sponsor.
