Arizona vs. USA
The recent Supreme Court spat between the United States and the state of Arizona has raised some interesting questions. These questions include whether and when laws are clearly discriminatory in nature, whether the federal government should have sole dominion over immigration enforcement, whether the federal government is indeed doing its assign duties as far as immigration enforcement goes and what levels of involvement the state can or should have given the answers to the above. While the points made by the United States are certainly valid and the decision by the Supreme Court is technically valid because the state law SB 1070 should indeed be enjoined, the court also made a valid point by stating that it is not beyond the pale to consider whether or not the state law even conflicts with the federal one.
Analysis

Mass legalization was actually done already in the 1960's and then again in the 1980's. This would mark the third time in a half century that this topic has come up. The resistance to the mass legalization and the suppression of state...
To be fair, a person that is in the United States in absence of a valid visa or other legal immigration status is breaking the law. However, if a state or local law enforcement agent catches such a person, they are now often being told that they have no authority or responsibility to do anything negative to that person and that they are being racist because they are singling out Hispanics. The federal government, even if they wanted to, does not the resources to enforce these laws on their own and it stands to reason that they should welcome the help of state and local authorities if they are able and willing to help.
However, while racism is certainly possible and is a valid point of argument either in court or in general, to suggest that "having one's papers" has racist connotations is quite dubious. Just as one example, people of all races…
