Why is it okay for some people to ignore federal law? Why is the US not allowed to enforce its' immigration law but every other country in the world is? Why is it okay for some people to break the law and does that not invalidate every law?

Arizona's criminal laws in SB1070 are no less restrictive than that of the federal government. They do not conflict with the federal statutes. Does a state not have it's own right under the 10th Amendment to create criminal laws as long as they don't conflict with federal law or violate civil rights?

Does United States immigration laws represent foreign relations with other countries? After all, immigration policy is how we determine who can visit us from other countries. If it is foreign policy, should a state government engage in immigration law enforcement when foreign relations is a function reserved expressly for the federal government only?


Lets get discussion back on track here.
