Feds considering lawsuits against Indiana, other states over immigration laws

Indiana’s tough new immigration law — already being challenged in U.S. District Court by the ACLU — could face yet another wave of opposition, this time from the federal government.
….
Rep. Eric Koch, R-Bedford, who co-sponsored the law in the Indiana House, criticized the federal government for knocking Indiana’s immigration strategy without offering its own.

“The federal government has created the problem,” Koch said. “As states, we have acted to solve it. So it would be ironic in that regard if they chose to challenge our efforts to solve a problem that they created.”
……
The news pleased Sen. Tom Wyss, R-Fort Wayne, an early critic of the state’s immigration law.

“It doesn’t surprise me that the feds are going after it,” he said. “I felt like we were doing something more for political posturing than something that we should be doing as a state.

“Law enforcement has enough to do,” he said, and “dangerously, some law enforcement officers could start profiling, and there could be civil rights and civil liberties problems.”
