Editorial: Ruling simply means taking the next step

Jae C. Hong/The Associated Press<br>A group of illegal immigrants look at pedestrians as they are processed for deportation at the Nogales Port of Entry in Nogales, Az., Wednesday. A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown. The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.
