Obama Administration Will Sue Arizona Over New Law

Here is swift punch to the throat courtesy the federal government:

Associated Press Writer PHOENIX The U.S. Justice Department is filing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona’s tough new law targeting illegal immigrants.

The planned lawsuit was confirmed to The Associated Press by a Justice Department official with knowledge of the plans. The official didn’t want to be identified before a public announcement planned for later Tuesday.

The lawsuit will argue that Arizona’s new measure requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws, like traffic stops, usurps federal authority.

Tuesday’s action has been expected for weeks. President Barack Obama has called the state law misguided. Supporters say it is a reasonable reaction to federal inaction on immigration.

Instead of actually trying to fix the problem at the borders the government has decided to shun its obligation and instead prevent states from trying to help themselves.

Yes – I know people take issues with this law. Fair enough. But people are being murdered in Arizona… action has to be taken.

Unfortunately, this action runs contrary to this administrations political agenda:

Borders?! We don’t need no stinkin’ borders!
