The US Dept. of Justice is filing suit against the State of Arizona over the state's new law regarding Immigration enforcement. The justification being used is what is called the "supremacy clause" of the US Constitution. This clause states that what is regulated by the federal government cannot be impinged upon by any individual state (or group of states). Immigration law has been the purview of the federal government. However, the State of Arizona plans to argue that it is merely attempting to enforce federal immigration law, rather than create a new law. This issue will, most likely, rise to the level of the Supreme Court.
