Looks like the federal government is fast becoming the enemy.
Accusing Arizona of trying to "second guess" the federal government, the Justice Department on Tuesday filed a lawsuit challenging the state's immigration policy -- claiming the "invalid" law interferes with federal immigration responsibilities and "must be struck down."
The suit names the state of Arizona as well as Gov. Jan Brewer as defendants. In it, the Justice Department claims the federal government has "preeminent authority" on immigration enforcement and that the Arizona law "disrupts" that balance. It urges the U.S. District Court in Arizona to "preliminarily and permanently" prohibit the state from enforcing the law, which is scheduled to go into effect at the end of the month.
"Arizonans are understandably frustrated with illegal immigration, and the federal government has a responsibility to comprehensively address those concerns," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a written statement. "But diverting federal resources away from dangerous aliens such as terrorism suspects and aliens with criminal records will impact the entire country's safety."

Looks like the federal government is fast becoming the enemy.
or republican governors are trying to make the President look bad.. wierd how they all stood up to obama and not bush.. couldn't be political in anyway.....
yeah, none of this happened while the Repugs were in power and DID NOTHING about securing the borders or resolving the status of illegal immigrants.
Same story with federal deficits.
And which Dem gov/AG are suing to stop the health care reform?
Holder is gonna get his ass kicked. I hope it goes to court soon.
they didn't want the GOP congress or President to look bad..
I dunno. In my very unstudied opinion, it appears that matters of borders and protection fall pretty much in the exclusive purview of the Fed.
Why do you think so? I'd guess just the opposite. When states encroach on federal prerogatives, they usually get their asses kicked.
^^^^^^What he said^^^^^^^
State of AZ will win.
Synchronicity is a .
Why? B/c you want them to?
LOL
LOL
LOL
You joking? President Obama needs no help looking bad!
Want? I have no wants in this. It is what it is.
Either way, we get closer to the breaking point where logic will be the only option left on the table.
The nice thing about the courts is they deal in facts.
The state law simply mirrors the federal law. It says that if they suspect the persons they have detained for other crimes/transgressions are illegal they will inform the Feds for further investigation/enforcement. They aren't proposing to enforce Federal law.
Can you amplify on that a bit? "It is what it is" isn't really a reason.
If AZ LE detains illegal aliens and binds them over to federal authorities, how is that not enforcing federal law?
Also, it would seem to me that if the AZ law "mirrors" federal law AZ is straightforwardly arrogating a federal function to itself.
They will be initially detained for violation of state law.
Arizona will simply call the feds in to do their job after that.
Thats why I'm pleased it will be tried in a court and not an internet forum.
Holder is gonna get his ass kicked.
To say nothing at all of the international dimension of the furore. The AZ law could be taken as an untoward imposition on the US's foreign policy.
why didn't these states challenge bush?
so states can now enforce laws that are exclusive to the fed govt halleluah!
yeah holder is going to get his ass kicked..
He may not have been the smartest president, but he most certainly wasn't the dumbest, like Obama may take first place for.
Sir: you didn't answer my question.
Show me how immigration law is exclusive to the federal government please. I didn't take "piss on the cons ution 101."so states can now enforce laws that are exclusive to the fed govt halleluah!
yeah holder is going to get his ass kicked..
