U.S. v. Arizona: Feds Sue to Block State Immigration Law

Maybe what should be done is what REAGAN did and give amnesty to 3 MILLION illegal aliens, then no one would be an illegal alien in Arizona.

America is a country made up of Immigrants, we cannot take in and support all the immigrants of the world. We must first look out for America, immigrants that take the proper steps to gain citizenship, we should welcome, Those who enter the country illegally, we should deport. Illegal means breaking the law, why do we reward illegal immigrants who break our law. Legal Americans. or legal immigrants eho break our laws get punished, America's priorities are mixed up.
Make some law changes, any baby born in america to an illegal women, once the child is born, the child and the mother both get deported. any business that has illegal workers, gets fined $50,000 for each illegal worker. Illegal immigrants dont get any welfare benefits, no free schooling, America has to start looking out for Americans.

Let's adopt the same immigration laws that Mexico has. If you come into the country illegally, you are deported. If you falsify a visa or passport, you are jailed. If you can't prove that you can be self-supporting and an asset to Mexico, you are denied entry! You have no rights to healthcare, social programs, or any other benefits given to a citizen of Mexico. Children born in Mexico do not automatically become citizens.
If you go into Mexico, you will find checkpoints where you have to produce your visa or passport to prove that you are there legally. Checkpoints are manned by police and soldiers armed with automatic weapons. If its OK for Mexico to impose this on US citizens, then I see no problem with the US doing it to Mexican immigrants!

Right now our biggest threat is our own boarders, we don't know who is coming across anymore, there are rumors of middle eastern insurgents mixing with the Mexicans to cross over to the US, and if that is true we are in very serious trouble, there will be suicide bombers everywhere here and we would be helpless to stop them.
How did this happen to us? And who is to blame? The boarders have been breached for many generations, and every President is to blame than, which means we have all been betrayed by the Federal Government.
I for one do not want to voluntarily pay taxes anymore, the reason is that we are not protected from foreign enemy's who can cross over any time they want, and by enemies I mean the illegal immigrants as well, because they are rewarded for being here illegally, the Government gives them welfare and subsidies for making it across the boarders, they drain our resources, pay no taxes, they send their wages back home and do not reinvest in our economy, and we citizens pay the bill, what a slap in the face to all of us who play by the rules and pull our own weight. We are dupes for allowing our Government to do this to us.
As a citizen and a military veteran I reject our Governments policy's on illegal immigration, and I for one back Arizona's stand to protect their State.

Obama claims federal law preempts Arizona law. Don't sanctuary cities preempt federal law as well? Where is the lawsuit?

President Obama is acting very much like he is going to be a one term President. His opposition to a state law, enacted as a result of the federal government's refusal to enforce immigration law, is political suicide. The situation with the U.S. being overrun with illegal immigrants is a result of several past administrations not demanding that the (INS)Immigration and Naturalization Service do their job! If one agency has failed this country miserably they are it! I was in federal law enforcement for 25 years and time and time again illegal aliens entered the country freely for smuggling and other illegal activities. Most of the time they had come in originally on a legal visa, overstayed the visa and absolutely no effort was made to find these individuals. In Canada their immigration authorities would open a case on all who overstayed their visas to find them and deal with them. The U.S. INS never tried and was totally ineffective with their mandated responsibilities. Now I'm sure we'll hear they didn't have the necessary resources and manpower to perform their duties........my response to that is they didn't make the effort and in addition were virtually no help to other federal agencies that needed their cooperation. I'm not really sure what they did, but whatever it was it wasn't much!

Obama believes his agenda supercedes any Constitutional duty or responsibility...

State and federal law enforcement agencies have worked long and hard to develop rules of cooperation with respect to the enforcement of federal drug laws.

This federal government challenge of the Arizona state immigration laws requiring state law enforcement personnel to question a person about their immigration status while enforcing other laws and upon reasonable suspicion is a mistake.

Instead of challenging the Arizona state law, the federal agencies responsible for securing our borders and enforcing the immigration laws would be better served by working with the state of Arizona and encouraging the support of local and state law enforcement officers and working through the rules of engagement.

The federal agencies involved have failed to secure our borders from unlawful entry and have failed to enforce immigration laws.

If the federal challenge is upheld and the state law is struck down, could a case be made to strike down all state and local laws associated with the enforcement of any federal civil or criminal law?

All the comments I read are in favor of Arizona's law, why does Obama and the DOJ choose to ignore the wishes of the vast majority? He ignores the will of the American people in hopes of gaining some minority votes...big mistake B.O.

Looks to me that the Obama Admin. finally read the ARIZONA LAW because all the racial profile talk was not even mentioned in there law suit . This is all grandstanding by Obama pandering towards his latino base . Most Latinos and 95 % of blacks will support him in 2012 so it was all politics not a suit with merit . This is a failed President and Admin. which is going down in history as the worst . He has shown that he has no clue as to how to govern nor lead , Just giving speeches and make like a leader is not going to get this country back on track . Obama has such a far left view and agenda ( just look at his far left latest appointment) he working at such a hard pace to transform this nation that he forgets we the people will fight him at every step.
