But since you live in Arizona, maybe you have some insight to what  local law enforcement authorities are going to do with the people they arrest for illegal entry. They can't prosecute them. They can't deport them.

The phrase "enemies foreign and domestic" does not refer to visa over-
stayers or others who are not legally in the United States.

It IS Arizona's fault that they passed a law requiring federal
cooperation that the federal government can't provide.

Once again with the deliberate obtuseness, Bert?

In what way does Obama believe himself to be above the United States
Constitution?

There are occasions where a cop has reasonable evidence that a crime
has occurred. This law shouldn't be needed for the cop to pick up a
person with such evidence. And it is not an unreasonable
requirement for anybody who has been picked up for a crime to provide
identification information.

Speaking broken English or having an ethnic appearance is not in
itself reasonable evidence that one is not a citizen.
