Go Arizona! You have my support and the support of about 75% of the United States.So of course, if it something that a majority of American’s support….the Obama administration does not.
Not to mention that I think the suit filed against Arizona is crazy. The Arizona law only compliments, and makes better, the federal law.

Arizona on Tuesday urged a federal judge to reject the U.S. government’s bid to quash its strict new immigration law, arguing the border state is acting within its powers.
The law takes effect on July 29. It requires state and local police to investigate the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect of being an illegal immigrant.
The Justice Department filed suit this month seeking to block Arizona’s law, arguing it would undermine U.S. foreign policy and violate the U.S. Constitution — charges rejected by state lawyers.
“Arizona merely seeks to assist with the enforcement of existing federal immigration laws in a constitutional manner,” lawyers for Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said in documents filed with the court late on Tuesday.
“It is (the Obama administration) that is attempting to impose immigration policies and priorities that contravene and conflict with federal law and unambiguous congressional intent.”
