Remember its the 50 STATES not 1 federal state... and states should be able to make state laws for their own protection if needed and this is one of those times.
Educate yourself on the issue Rick. I don't care if it's one state or 30 states or 50 states, the Federal Gov't is solely responsible for border enforcement, not the individual states.
I do see the argument that AZ would want to protect itself, and that if the Feds won't do their job of enforcement, then AZ will. Yet it is still the Feds responsibility. This AZ law will be overturned, bank on it, even with the 5-4 majority in the Supreme Court if we ever get that far.
Dean, John and Ken had the guy who wrote the bill on the radio the other day and he says there is no way for it to be over turned because the issue has already been decided many times in the courts. Apparently they have always upheld over the years that States have the right to pass this kind of law and that they work with the Feds in enforcing all the time. He seemed to be pretty confident.
