Obama: Arizona law securing borders is "misguided"

Do you think that is constitutional?

The federal government controls immigration, not states. Our governmental system says a state doesn't have the right to intrude in federal law.

A example would be desegregation and the integration of schools. Federal law supercedes state law. And the feds will send in the troops to prove it (some states apparently didn't learn that from the Civil War)

not much of an analogy, since paying federal taxes isn't illegal, but being an illegal immigrant is just that. as for the feds being in charge, if the fibbies are looking for someone on their most wanted list, and a sherriff arrests him, they don't have a problem with that. az didn't change any laws, they just said if a cop has a suspicion, he is to question-which is the same thing they do if they suspect drunkenness, drug use, etc.

You'll just have to continue to hire those illegal, outstayed-their-student-or-work-visa'd immigrants: the Irish, the Dutch and the German.

The analogy was to NOT paying your federal taxes, or the "suspicion" by state officials that your federal taxes might not be accurate.
