美最高法院将审理亚利桑那州移民法

"I'm sure it didn't escape notice that none of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle came to this hearing," said Schumer. "That's not surprising. They're absent from this hearing just as they have been absent from every attempt we've made to negotiate a comprehensive solution to our immigration problem. We need people to sit down, people on both sides of the aisle in a bipartisan way and solve this problem, and we have been unable to find negotiating partners."

舒默参议员说：“我可以肯定，大家可能都注意到了，那就是，没有一个共和党的议员前来参加今天的这个听证会。这也不奇怪。他们不只是今天没有来出席这个听证会，之前所有要讨论如何出台一整套方案，解决移民问题的机会，他们也都选择错过了。我们需要大家一起坐下来，需要来自不同党派的人一起坐下来，跨越党派的界线，来讨论、并且解决这个问题；但是呢，对方一直不愿意和我们谈。”

The state lawmaker behind the Arizona legislation, Russell Pearce, said "the invasion of illegal aliens" poses one of the "greatest threats to our nation in terms of political, economic and national security."

在亚利桑那州，最支持这项法案的州议员皮尔斯说，“非法移民的入侵，”“无论是从政治的角度、还是经济的角度、还是国家安全的角度来讲”，都对美国构成了一个“极其严重的威胁”。

"We have a national crisis, and yet we continue to ignore it," Pearce noted. "There are some that run for office and talk about 'build the darn fence' but never hear it again once they are elected. I think America is a little tired of the drive-by statements by politicians instead of dealing with the issue at hand. Enforce our laws. Secure our border."

皮尔斯说：“我们现在面临的是一个全国性的危机；但是我们却还在忽视这个问题。一些政治人物，他们竞选的时候说，要‘修建一堵围墙’，但是一旦选上以后，就再也没有下文了。我觉得，美国民众现在都已经厌烦了政治人物这种只说不做的办事方法了。就应该认真执法，捍卫我们的边界。”

Pearce, who was removed from office last year in a recall election, said those who have illegally entered the country have included convicted felons, members of drug cartels and gangs, and human traffickers. He said immigration has cost the state billions of dollars in education, health care and detention costs. He said a majority of other states expressed support for the legislation.

皮尔斯去年在当地举行的第二轮选举中，输给了对手。他说，那些非法进入美国的人当中，有一些是罪犯、有一些是毒品走私集团的成员、还有一些是人口贩子。皮尔斯说，亚利桑那州在移民问题上、具体说是涉及到非法移民的教育、医疗保健、以及关押期间的费用等等方面，花去了数十亿美元的资金；皮尔斯还说，从美国国内来讲，很多其他的州也都对亚利桑那州的这项方案，表示支持。
