The Obama administration will file suit to challenge Arizona's immigration law, an official told Fox News on Friday.
The confirmation comes after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview with a TV station in Ecuador earlier this month that the administration would challenge the law in court, though officials had long said the issue was under review.
Administration officials initially would not confirm Clinton's statement. But an official told Fox News on Friday that while the review is still underway, the decision has already been made that a Department of Justice suit will be filed. The administration at this point is just building its case.

Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill’s provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out. Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I’m excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.
Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as “in-state” tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son. Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver’s license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your assistance.
Your Loyal Constituent,
Donald R.......

There is no way to underestimate this bunch. Their incompetence and stupidity are truly breathtaking. May God preserve us.
Indeed
ooops-—wrong thread—please ignore, excuse thanks
I wouldn’t show up at court and site the 10th amendment.
Words fail me!
Neither can I
This will certainly help his approval ratings (sarc)...
I feel sorry for bho’s kids. They will grow up and forever be tarnished as children of the man who lied, usurped and destroyed America.
Obama, the Clintons, Carter - may they all decay in hell.
They should handle this just like they do Obama’s birth issue: No standing.
Let him bring it. Let’s see how this case goes when the Constitution is brought up (Especially Article IV, section 4)
Article IV Section 4:
“The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.”
So FAR LEFT they’re off the charts
<<<——————————————————————————
Needs to be formulated as a Constitutional Amendment..and run through 38 state legislatures ASAP....would pass in a New York minute....
The Obama administration is permanently stuck on stupid.
Amendment requires super majority in Congress and a presidential signature as well as the 38 states.
They will want to delay and screw around with this so that it gets maximum political utility before they lose in court.
Probably a judge that can make a “wise Latina decision”
