Newswise — In anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision on Arizona’s controversial immigration law – expected on June 18 or June 25 – Cornell law professor and immigration law expert Stephen Yale-Loehr is available to discuss the case and the decision with members of the media.

Yale-Loehr says:

“If the Court strikes down the Arizona law, pressure will increase on Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform. If the Court upholds all or part of the Arizona law, other states will be emboldened to enact their own immigration laws: some pro-immigrant, some anti-immigrant.”

Professor Yale-Loehr is one of the nation’s preeminent immigration scholars. A copy of his congressional testimony on problems with the current employer verification system is available here:
