1. The Supremacy Clause. This is the Constitutional Clause that says that Federal Law trumps State laws. But this only comes into play when state laws are CONTRARY to Federal Law. In this case, the Arizona law mimics the Federal Law almost exactly. Therefore, the Supremacy Clause does not come into play.

2. Racial Profiling. The second prong of attack for the DOJ is that the law would allow for racial profiling. This is a non-starter from the get-go as the Arizona Law specifically prohibits racial profiling.

3. Finally, in 2002 the DOJ issued a memo that State Police have a quote inherent power unquote to arrest illegal immigrants on Federal Immigration Law violations. This seals the DOJ's fate with regards to this bogus lawsuit.

It's a waste of time, effort and taxpayer money. All three would be better spent on actually addressing border security rather than fighting against states.

Michale.....

Arizona's law is designed to benefit the people of Arizona.. You know.. AMERICAN citizens??

Obama's lawsuit is designed to benefit....... criminals....

Can ANYONE explain to me the logic behind this??

Michale.....

I think we would all agree that securing the border MUST come first..
