We have Cities in CA with an ICE agent on the ready at the station.
But what do they do when called?
Remember we're talking about uniformed cops on a scene or traffic stop...
who should have other duties to be getting back to waiting for an answer.
I'm not seeing much more than the same "catch and release" as always.
The 1 in 100,000 that ICE has targeted for other reasons notwithstanding
just the opposite, this is a victory for AZ and other states will follow...

I heard arizona's bonehead gov. say the same thing. It is simply incorrect. The supreme struck down everything with the exception of item, which was not ripe for review. What did they win? Everything was either ruled unconstitutional are not ripe for review at this time, which means it could be rule unconstitutional once the state of Arizona begins to litigate it.
This was a great decision because it not only offers some protection to the poorest and most despised people among us who have only did the "crimes" of taking filthy jobs no American would touch and wanting to feed their family BUT, most importantly, it establishes again the SUPREMACY of the Federal Government over the states. This is good for the country.
If that job that no American would take, was all that was available between living and starving without a place to live, My wager is, someone would start working that job. As long oas the federal government is willing to give away tax dollars to support people, it will stay this way.

This is a sad day for state's rights. Each state of the union is a sovereign nation of it's own.
If a LEO asks me for ID here in Canada I will tell him to stuff it. I'm not required to identify myself to agents of the state unless they have "Probable cause" to suspect I have committed a crime. No BS probable cause will do either because I would sue and they know it. Without that freedom we really can't call ourselves a free people at all. We are fortunate that our supreme court takes this right seriously and almost all arrests arising out of illegal searches are thrown out.
My son was asked by a cop in Vancouver to empty out his backpack. He said to the cop, "AH, NO WAY, you have no cause to be harrassing me"!!!! When the cop started to insist my boy cut him off and asked him the key question. "Am I free to go"? The cop, lucky for him, must have suspected something was up because he said, "yes, but you are not being very helpful" LOL. My son was actually setting the cop up for a royal screwing because if the cop had said no you are not free to go then the law says that he has placed you under arrest. My son is a lawyer and a rabid civil rights advocate and that cop and his force would have been in very hot water and would have lost the false arrest case brought againsy them without a doubt.
So let me see if i have this straight? Our biggest concern is that these illegals are not citizens, and therefore any tax money that goes to help them is wrong? What if we look at it from a different viewpoint. The term "citizen" is one we seem to hold by, but eliminate that term for a minute. What if we look at these illegals as human beings who live in our neighborhoods who hold down jobs and pay plenty in sales tax. Now what if we could also get them to pay federal taxes on earnings?
I worked in an industry where I was constantly around these illegals, and guess what? They're people too. They just lack the technical designation of citizen. But otherwise, they bleed red. Can't we come up with solutions that include these folks in the American fabric, instead on constantly seeking ways to exclude them? (And btw, I'm a card-carrying Republican, so don't blame my ideas on bleeding heart liberalism)

America has been doing exactly that throughout it's history. Irish, Jews, Italians, Germans, Chinese and on and on. Now the politicians have made immigration reform a wedge issue. If either side gives an inch, they feel they are losing the political fight.
