In YOUR opinion the AZ law is going against the interests of our country, un-American. Others think it is unconstitutional and therefore un-American. It will eventually end up in the Supreme Court to see which side is right.

It is definitely not unconstitutional. If this gets ruled unconstitutional, then DUI checkpoints has to be ruled that too. But wait!, SCOTUS had already ruled that DUI checkpoints are completely constitutional, so will this law.

Well.....if Arizona's new law is found to be unconstitutional, then so too....would the FEDERAL immigration law, already in place....that's "enforced" so well.

DUI checkpoints stop everyone and are constitutional. Stopping people because they "look" illegal is not which is the way the law as first written before it got tweaked. Time will tell whether or not the tweak was enough to make it constitutional, won't it.

Nobody is stopping anyone for 'looking' illegal. This is just more left wing propaganda BS to rile the masses. And this law was fashioned after the FEDERAL law, like it or not.

It's no wonder we are the laughing stock of the world. Heaven forbid we ask people engaging in potentially criminal activity to actually prove they have a right to be in our country.

READ THE BILL before you make ignorant false claims about it! You're no better than the idiots who have admitted to not reading it but have made claims that it's not constitutional.

It was not writtne that way, you took it that way. It was amended for people like you who were fabricating the meaning.

How many times do we see a post on this forum that asks if another poster actually read the Op?
Is it too much to ask or expect that our elected reps read a document before trashing it?
Then to have a foreign leader come into our house and trash us then receive an applause for doing so is exactly why we need to vote every one of those incumbants out of office.
This Leader who received such high praise leads a Nation known more for its coruption than anything else. He condemns our laws when his own laws are far far worse.
Typical of Pelosi and her followers. If its hate against this nation they are in favor of it.

Ghazal Tajmiri of the National Immigration Law Center, who is suing AZ over their new laws says it law is unconstitutional.

National Immigration Law Center Says U.S. Constitution And Rights Of Americans Are At Stake In Arizona Immigration Law-05/20/10 | Workers Independent News (http://laborradio.org/node/13547 - broken link)

Quote:
“It delves into immigration law which is strictly federal grounds and it’s pre-empted basically by the supremacy clause of the U.S. constitution because under the U.S. constitution only the federal government and Congress is allowed to enforce immigration priorities, pass immigration laws and apply them. However this law is attempting to do that in a state.”
