INCREDIBLE – AT 9:59 A.M. ET:  The Obama administraton's war on Arizona continues.  I wish they'd have this much passion about fighting the Taliban or Al Qaeda.  From the Washington Post:

The Justice Department filed another lawsuit against immigration practices by Arizona authorities, saying Monday that a network of community colleges acted illegally in requiring noncitizens to provide their green cards before they could be hired for jobs.

The suit against the Phoenix-area Maricopa Community Colleges was filed less than two months after the Justice Department sued Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer (R) over the state's new immigration law. It also comes as the department is investigating Joe Arpaio, the sheriff in Maricopa County, who is known for tough immigration enforcement.

In Monday's lawsuit, Justice officials said the colleges discriminated against nearly 250 noncitizen job applicants by mandating that they fill out more documents than required by law to prove their eligibility to work. That violated the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, the department said.

The law's antidiscrimination provision "makes it unlawful to treat authorized workers differently during the hiring process based on their citizenship status," said Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for Justice's Civil Rights Division. He said the government "is acting now to remedy this pattern or practice of discrimination."

COMMENT:  Perez is rapidly gaining a reputation as a certified nutbag.  He's a left-wing political activist who seems to be on a mission to restore the 1960s, flower jeans and all.  He recently went after Kindle because he didn't feel it was designed well enough for those without sight.  How an electronic reader can be designed for the unsighted is a mystery to me, but Perez knows.  He is all-knowing.

The assaults on Arizona will simply create more Republicans.  Perez will then sue Arizona for being unfriendly.
