Only problem to that is that ICE is way undermanned, and underfunded, and when called upon to enforce the law, it seems they have been ordered to back off.

If the administration stance is Arizona law is illegal because it steps over federal authority. Then wouldn’t local / state laws covering any federal law be illegal? For example bank robbery is covered under federal regulation (TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 103 > § 2113). If local LE goes after the bank robber would that not be stepping on federal authority? It seems this Administration wants to pick and choose what laws they will enforce.
BOB CHRISTIE (AP) - Associated Press Writer PHOENIX The U.S. Justice Department is filing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's tough new law targeting illegal immigrants.

Well, now we know the case will be the Feds claiming Usurption.. is that a word?? of Federal Authority. Not smart at all to make that the crux of the debate. IF they lose this, and I'm betting they will, it will open the door for States to challenge the Federal Government in all manner of "failing to" issues.
The only negative issue is even if Arizona wins, it will adversely affect neighboring states, such as Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, etc, etc....even Texas lol because, the law will make it more difficult for illegal aliens to move about and make it a less hospitable state. Consequently, hordes of illegals will move away from Arizona. Illegals will just say "**** it" in espanol and avoid the state.
Actually Oklahoma has laws similar to those of Arizona with HB1804 aka the tax payer protection act, so illegals and those that harbor them will not flee to Oklahoma.
Article I Section 1:
Thats good! Do the same thing across the country and they will continue towards Canada - the real beneficiaries of NAFTA.
Let Canada handle, the pesky problem

So how is it a negative issue if Arizona wins and illegals flee to sanctuary states and cities?
How dare Arizona enforce Federal Law! And how telling it is that Obama is using the courts to fight them...

They are undermanned because the past million administrations have failed to pour money into securing our border. The whole problem is that the federal gov't, including your beloved Regan, Bush 1 and 2, and Clinton failed to deal with the issue because they lacked balls and feared political reprecussions. Although I don't agree with the law, I do agree AZ had to do something. No other Prez, Congress, or State had balls to do something.

So you slam Bush, Reagan and Clinton for doing nothing, but you "don 't agree with" a law that actually does something about it. Amazing. Pray tell, what's bad about this law?
Does profiling have to involve race to be bad or is it unfair to profile on occupations or economic classes?
Bottom line, it is a federal law. The AZ law is enforced by one state, AZ, no other state. So what does the law do, keep them out of AZ. Does it secure the border? Does it prevent illegal immigration? Give the feds the money to build a freaking wall, moot, etc. Hire troops or Border Agents to patrol. Frankly, we are unsecured. As you said a long time ago, we have the federal law. Let's use it.
