If ICE, the immigration dept., border patrol, and all police depts. had been allowed to do their jobs we would not be having these problems. Our government has allowed this invasion of illigal aliens to go on for years and it has undermined the rule of law across the U.S. not to mention countless other problems.

What I am saying is:There is nothing in the constitution that even mentions immigration;thererfore the states have the right to control the acts of illegal aliens in their states.

carlos mackey wrote on October 15, 2008 12:10 PM: Patrick:The supremacy clause prevents the states from passing laws contrary to federal law. That is why there are state laws on drugs and state laws on bank robbery in parallel to federal law. naturalization and immigration are not the same thing:My mother was born in this country but was not a citizen. She didn't become a citizen until June 2 1924 when all American Indians were made citizens by an act of congress. So far all Arizona laws on illegal aliens have been upheld. I dont have the case law in front of me so I can't quote the exact case number but there is a case of Mueller which gives local police the right to arrest people for immigration violations. If a suspect admits that he or she is in the country illegally, that is probable cause to take that person into custody. Also if that person has multiple IDs and or states that he or she is foreign born,but has no passport or visa, that gives the police officer the right to briefly detain that person while ICE is informed.

Mexafornia,you had better not need any Medical attention at the emergency rooms as it is at least a 6 to 10 hr wait, we are told all the time by these illigals we had better learn to speak spanish as they are taking over, yes, they are very brave. GOOD FOR NEVADA...

You hit the nail right on the head. Pro-illegal alien groups have been able to hide their own racist agendas by disingenuous accusations against anyone that opposes them.

Get an idea of their agendas go to www.mexica-movement.org
Or check out Chicano studies on YouTube and you will see in LA, illegal alien kids being taught they are not illegal but the Europeans are.

All this is a slick and intelligent unique invasion backed my Mexico, La Raza, LULAC, MALDEF and MECHA.

All completely racist having nothing to do with equality but vengeance and blame, using their own twist on history.

All the time claiming victim, when it’s the legal citizens being victimized; if truly this was about poor escaping poverty and corruption they would be protesting in front of the Mexican embassy demanding change in Mexico, a very rich nation.

The second biggest importer of oil to the U.S..
Not protesting in our streets waving the Mexican flag chanting Mexico.

Any added attention is from their own actions and being the majority of criminals.
Mexico is not a friend to this country and should be looked as an enemy needing more than just a wall between us.

Sir: The federal government is granted jurisdiction over immigrants pursuan to the Commerce Clause of the Constitution which provides that "Congress is authorized to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states" (See Hernandez v Guerro, 963 F. Supp. 933, 037) However the most common sources of jurisdiction are derived from the Naturalization Clause, the Migration and Importation Clause and even the War Powers Act.

The Constitution also implies power over immigration incident to its federal sovereignty. (See The Chinese Exclusion case 130 U.S. 581)

And of course police officers MAY arrest a citizen for federal offenses WITNESSED by the officer. The problem with enforcing federal immigration law is HOW can a state officer, absent probable cause for believing that a crime has been commited, EVEN DETERMINE that a person is an illegal? The answer is, without profiling everyone that looks Mexican into a class of criminals, he can't.
