Another challenge to Arizona immigration law gets dismissed

According to the Associated Press, a federal judge in Phoenix, Arizona, has decided to dismiss another challenge to the state's controversial immigration law.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton recently granted the motion to dismiss a July lawsuit filed by the League of United Latin American Citizens, according to the news provider.

The lawsuit was initially filed over training materials given to Arizona law enforcement officials for the implementation of the legislation, which the league said promoted ethnic and racial profiling.

Bolton ruled that the league could not establish any real or immediate threat of harm, according to the news source.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said that six of the eight lawsuits against the state stemming from the immigration law have been dismissed.

"Without the rule of law and respect for those around you, this country would collapse," said Brewer, reports KPHO.com. "I am pleased and encouraged by Judge Bolton's decision today and look forward to victory in all legal challenges regarding SB1070."

Foreigners looking to obtain U.S. green card eligibility can do so through the federal EB-5 visa program by investing $1 million (or $500,000 in some areas) in an American project or company that creates or maintains at least 10 full-time jobs.
