Justice Department Challenges Constitutionality of Tough Law Targeting Illegal Immigrants[/b]
U.S. Suit over Ariz. Immigration Law Coming Soon
Immigration Reform Taking Political Center Stage
(CBS/AP) Updated at 4:15 p.m. ET
.
The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's new law targeting illegal immigrants, setting the stage for a clash between the federal government and the state over the nation's toughest immigration crackdown.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix argues that Arizona's law requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws such as traffic violations usurps federal authority.
This should be interesting. I’m still trying to understand how AZ is usurping the feds since the law mirrors our existing federal laws. The last time I checked, it is still unlawful to enter this country without authorization, or to overstay a visa. Non-citizens are also required to carry documentation. So, how is it unconstitutional?
This is great news. Based on this move by the Justice Dept, I will assume that all state and local police depts will now have to stand down on all drug enforcement laws since they would be usurping federal power....
maybe the litigation will drag on and on....and meanwhile..a giant sucking sound comes from the "Dirge o vac" as the illegals are spirited away....kicking and squealing....back to their countries of origin...
Here's my question...since we, hubby and I, as a household that live in Arizona, and the feds, which receives our tax paying dollars, are we suing ourselves?

You tell me, i would like to understand this myself. Go figure. I don't understand this, your right the law mirrors our current existing laws. Last time i knew, it still is unlawful to enter this Country by illegal means, is it not. Our federal Government is being unconsititutional, Stupid, and Ignorant, all come to mind.
