A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.
Again, obama and his thugs are on the wrong side of this issue, although they think if they pander to the mexicans they will profit in the fall. I think the exact opposite will happen. By large majorities, the American people approve of the law and want the Fed to ENFORCE all immigration laws.
So does that mean that they'll pick and choose which laws to enforce? So if someone were to try to execute the president I'm positive they'd enforce that law. But if someone were raped and murdered by an illegal alien crossing the border onto private property I guess Obama would choose to ignore that case. You, Obama and members of the Justice Dept and ICE swore an oath and should abide by that oath. Either uphold your oath or resign in disgrace.
"ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel," Napolitano said. "It also has the discretion to deport or not to deport persons delivered to it by any government agents, even its own."
This is why an individual state trying to enforce federal laws without first establishing parameters with the federal government is stupid. Maybe your hero governor shouldn't have signed this ridiculous law until she properly evaluated it's practicality. With no where to house them and no way to deport them, the law only serves as political fodder for the baggers which is all is what intended to.

In other words, Obama administration will only enforce the laws they agree with and ignore all others, a violation of the oath they took.

I wonder if you've figured out yet that the Arizona law mirrors the Federal law....and if you have, does it make a bit of difference?
If obama wants to challenge the law, go for it. But he is still obligated to ENFORCE the law.
He's already violated that oath since he's choosen not to enforce the "Federal" immigration laws as they are on the books. Neither he nor GW Bush enforced those laws.

No, in other words states can't arbitrarily create laws and expect the federal government to backstop them. The federal gov is enforcing immigration laws. It may not be as effective as all want it to be but Arizona creating this law without consulting the fed then when the fed wont support them is childish. You say you want states rights, you got them. The right to enact an ineffective an impractical law.
Do you really believe the federal laws are being enforced right now?
No. Arizona has a state law. Immigration is a federal issue. And there are laws of the land a state simply can't override at whim. Learn the fundamentals (Insanity on FoxNews is not the way to go about it, though)
