Thing 7b

While visiting my google reader, I found an article on what to expect when the court begins to examine Arizona's immigration stance. I'm sure many Americans are like me--confused. According to the article, the Supreme Court has already ruled that "federal authority can pre-empt state law when the federal interest is dominant and where there already exists a system of federal regulations."

I have wondered why there was such a big deal and the article went on to say that it doesn't matter that the federal government hasn't done a good job in enforcing the immigration laws, it only matters that the laws are in place.

I look forward to hearing the news today.
