Hillary Clinton: Yes, Obama is filing a lawsuit against
the Arizon...

Hillary Clinton was interviewed by NTN24 out of Quito, Ecuador on June 8, and was asked about how the Obama administration was handling the Arizona law. She answered frankly, that
the justice department, under Obama’s direction, will bring a lawsuit
against the Arizona law.

I thought they were still looking at the law. I didn’t realize they had already decided to challenge it in court. Kinda makes me wonder if that was the plan all along, especially since this was just a few days
after he met with Gov. Brewer:

QUESTION: Thank you very much.

I would like to start with the immigration debate in the United States. The recently approved law in Arizona has presented sort of a difficult scenario for the President Obama Administration. According to
some polling, half of the United States has approved this law and maybe
other states would like to implement it. How’s Obama Administration
dealing with this debate? Is the immigration law near reality?

SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, Andrea, first, let me say how pleased I am that I have this chance to talk to you about these and other important issues. President Obama has spoken out against the law because he thinks
that the federal government should be determining immigration policy.
And the Justice Department, under his direction, will be bringing a
lawsuit against the act.

But the more important commitment that President Obama has made is to try to introduce and pass comprehensive immigration reform. That is what we need. Everyone knows it, and the President is committed to doing
it.
