PHOENIX (AP) — An appeals court plans to hear arguments on Oct. 17 in Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's appeal of a ruling that prevents police from enforcing part of Arizona's immigration law that prohibits people from blocking traffic when they seek or offer day labor services.
The governor's appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is separate from an appeal she lodged before the U.S. Supreme Court, which has upheld the law's most controversial section.
The day labor provision wasn't part of the case that was decided by the nation's highest court.
Brewer's lawyers argued the restrictions are meant to confront traffic safety concerns.
Groups that challenged the law argued the day labor rules unconstitutionally restrict the free speech rights of people who want to express their need for work.

No question about it. People seeking day labor positions should register with a temp help agency. They can also walk down the street visiting businesses asking if they need any help.
But, approaching vehicles at stop signs is a traffic hazard and intimidating to many women. Some may even feel threatened.
Gathering in the parking lots of Home Depot and Lowe's and other places should also be forbidden.
There are many companies whose business is providing temporary day labor.
They should register with them.
If they don't have documents -- they SHOULD GO HOME.

This is a traffic safety issue, not an immigration one.
But hey, if they want to block MY traffic, they will become speed bumps. ;)

[tongue_smile]how do the left/pro illegal groups find this issue a "free speach violation." if any person can claim that bothering people who are driving, a clear safety issue, as free speach then anyone could just run around in the streets/highways and nothing could be done about it legally. this issue is moot, stop wastng the tax payer money!!i [thumbup]
