U.S. challenges South Carolina immigration law

How many states have to pass their own immigration laws before the federal officials get it through their thick skulls that the American people want them to enforce our immigration laws???

Why is a law that is designed to protect AMERICAN citizens by removing the people that are in this country ILLEGALLY considered unconstitutional?

Need to put the power back into middle class American's hands.

The Federal Gov't clearly has an agenda....and it isn't racial profiling. This is our gov't once again working against our nations' soveriegnty and the best interests of the American people. To me, it amounts to treasonous behavior. To protect people who are here illegally over some stupid thing like racial profiling? First of all most of the illegals come from south of the border. Last I knew...hispanic is NOT a race. So the argument is bogus just on that standpoint. The term "racial profiling" seems to be the catch-all phrase for people who are different somehow. That's a mighty slippery slope. It's time to stand up to the Fed on this issue. Occupy immigration office areas country wide. We're either a country with borders and laws....or we're not.

Why don't people realize that the Constitution protects the rights of U.S. Citizens....it does not apply to the British, the Chinese, Canada....or any other country or their citizens. That goes for mexican citizens illegally in the U.S. so I am not sure how it violates their civil rights? The Obama administration is going to get beat up over immigration come election time.

Now it's against the law to uphold the law?

Would be nice to have a President that would stand with the people of the US and not against it

"...arguing that the federal government had preeminent authority over immigration matters."
Enforce the law then, not just when its convenient for political motives.

ONCE AGAIN, the feds are trying to block a law that IS the law of the land.

Illegal aliens are "Invaders", you can't legally call them anything else. Our Federal government is not protecting it's citizens, hasn't been for a long time, it is not a separate entity all the States make up the Federal, this means Your Representatives are not listening to Your people, tell them if they don't start listening to what the People want (not the aliens) then they must be voted out(fired) same thing our employer would do to us if we stopped listening. Still like what Warren Buffet said!

Who/what in hell is this guy in the white house? Didn't he take an oath to protect the citizens of this country? Who does he work for?. The states are trying to help the feds that are overwhelmed with this problem and he supports foreigners in this country illegally. The word Impeachment is starting to sound good.

A woman was stabbed in a walmart parking lot, in upstate NY, by an illegal immigrant from South America. This is why we need better border enforcemet and better policing of our immigration policies. Why do we allow illegals to pour over our borders and wait for them to commit a more serious crime before we consider them for deportation? If we were stricter and did not let them in this country to begin with then we wouldn't have this problem. Come on liberal politicians get with it. respect this country and our current laws and enforce what you took an oathe to enforce.

It's time for Americans to take back their country!!! GTFO

What kind of country do we live in where the Federal government sues a state that enacts a law that enforces federal immigration laws.

Lets talk about the real reason this administration is going to court to stop states from enacting their own emigration laws, this administration wants as many illegals to be able to vote in the presidential election next November.

Its mind blowing that a president who swore an oath on the Bible would not only refused to enforce the immigration laws but would in fact sue the very citizens to continue supporting the breaking of our laws. Has anything in american history equal to this has occurred?? These are a bunch of LOW LIVES with such arrogance that kind of mocks the public. How you elect sum bam bam biden in the first place?

They sued Arizona, and Alabama for the same thing and in Arizona they busted 70 in a massive drug bust with ties to the cartels thats a big bust, but how many did'nt get busted because the govt is protecting them. Why cant we protect ourselves. 2012 send obama pacting to mexico they'll quikly understand how we feel about them.

Isn't it fascinating how much time Eric Holder spends filing suit against his own country? Most useless and despicable "attorney general" ever.

The US Gov't is pathetic and only cares about votes versus what is best for America. The Feds should focus on issues relivant to the Federal gov't and stay out of the State's business. Nothing this gov't has ever done has ever worked.

Wake up nobumbo, Americans are sick and tired of having to take care of your special interest people. Hell i had to wait 3 years to get a 3.6% increase in my SS, the illegals get SS without doing anything and then demand more. Tell the feds to go to hell South Carolina.
