Hence the problem. So why don't we just open up the borders and let anyone and everyone in? Because we can't. We can however limit the ability of illegal aliens to cross as easily as they do. Seal the borders as best we can. This is what needs to be done first and then we address the people who are here illegally.

AZ should sue the U.S. Gov't for not doing their duty when it comes to immigration. Unfortunately, there is probably some damn law that covers the Fed's.

Or let more people in legally and remove the incentive for coming through illegally (crackdown on employers)

And you know good and well that is not what I am saying, but the rhetoric that is being used to support this law is ridiculous. This will not save the Arizona economy. It will not stop the drug cartels. It will not decrease illegal immigration at the borders. Pretending otherwise that it does anything other than waste Arizona tax payer money is stupid.

I'm going to disagree with you on the bolded. There is a reason why more immigrants and smugglers choose to go through the treacherous Arizona smuggling route as opposed to crossing the "easier" California or Texas borders. Arizona does the catch and release. You cross in TX you are looking at 3 weeks to 3 months in jail THEN deported.
