But, but....I thought this was all about state's rights? Isn't it a bit hypocritical to now go whining to the feds for help with instituting this draconian law?

The Arizona agency tasked with training 15,000 law officers to enforce the state's controversial new illegal immigration law has asked federal authorities for assistance, but administration officials say it is unclear whether the government will help.
Lyle Mann, executive director of the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, says federal assistance is "critical" to what he describes as an unprecedented effort to prepare officers as soon as this summer to enforce the law, which gives local police authority to identify and arrest illegal immigrants.
a term that has come to be used broadly to describe all forms of ethnically-motivated violence, ranging from murder, rape, and torture to the forcible removal of populations.[1] A 1993 United Nations Commission defined it more specifically as, "the planned deliberate removal from a specific territory, persons of a particular ethnic group, by force or intimidation, in order to render that area ethnically homogenous."[1]
let us now compare the state govt there to the nazis, the illegals to the jews. this would be equally as appropriate here.

IIRIRA addressed the relationship between the federal government and local governments. Section 287(g) is a program of the act that deputizes state and local law enforcement personnel to enforce immigration matters. This provision was implemented by local and state authorities in five states, California, Arizona, Alabama, Florida and North Carolina by the end of 2006.

Please stop being clueless...Janet Napolitano herself (former governor of AZ) was begging the federal government for more assistance in securing the border. Now she's lying saying that the border is more secure now than it's ever been. When you walk in AZ's shoes and have to deal with more drug trafficking, human smuggling, kidnapping, and the other crimes that come along with being a border state that has been ignored by the federal government, then perhaps your opinions might be more closely looked at. In addition, had McCain not ran for President, most likely AZ would have been a blue state this past election, so quit whining about how you think AZ is such a racist state. The legal residents of this state deserve to live in an environment that isn't mirroring what is happening in Mexico.
President Obama, however, has ordered a Justice Department review of the measure's civil rights implications.
"That review," DHS spokesman Matthew Chandler says, "will inform the government's actions."
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., has urged the Obama administration "not to cooperate with the state of Arizona in its implementation and execution." In an April 23 letter to Obama, he called the law a "serious overstep of state authority in federal issues."
15,000 new officials? I bet the Tea Party is all up in arms about this law. Talk about a huge increase of government! Reminds me of the KGB or Stasi. Is Arizona's Republican party turning socialist?
When the federal government neglects their responsibility to the American Taxpayer and Legal Immigrants of this nation in favor of masses of people here illegally breaking US law and their supporters, that's without a doubt the biggest problem we all face.
Who are they working for anyhow, answer me that.
In what dictionary did the definition of ILLEGAL morph into the definition of "LEGAL"?
