PHOENIX -- Attorneys for Gov. Jan Brewer have asked a judge to throw out the U.S. Justice Department's challenge to the state of Arizona's new immigration law.
The governor's lawyers said Monday the federal government hasn't shown it has suffered actual harm from the law and instead bases its claim on speculation.
The federal government says the state law is trumped by federal law and that it has hurt U.S. relations with Mexico. It is scheduled to take effect Thursday.
Attorneys for Brewer say Mexico's disapproval of the law doesn't make it unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is considering requests by the Justice Department, a Phoenix police officer and civil rights groups to put the law on hold.

I wonder if the Feds will list all the felling illegals as “injury”...
They sue Arizona for UPHOILDING U.S. law, but fail to sue ‘sanctuary cities’ for illegally circumventing U.S. law..
And their argument is that it ‘hurts US-MEXICO relations’??? They actually filed that idiotic claim in a court of law?
Is that some sort of legal concept I have been unaware of? Can they show me the ‘hurting relations’ statute or law?

Form the article i see that of the 2,600,000 people looked at w/ this new system, 9.2% had previously been arrested for something.
Just damn. How many more are there?
“The federal government says the state law is trumped by federal law and that it has hurt U.S. relations with Mexico.”
Here are some additional samples from the government’s draft brief in support of their motion for a restraining Order:
“If the Aridites gain possession of the Necronomicron, we will be subjected to a world of pure evil.”
“Give us what we want, and we’ll go away.”
“Step aside, puny mortals: Resistance is futile.”
“Or we’ll hold our breath until we ...”
“Don’t you understand? We’re from the federal government and we’re here to help!”
Whack! She went right to the heart of the matter. “Specualtion” and “to hell with what Mexico says or thinks.”

Ping-o!
The second half of the article reports on the “Secure Communities” program which processes the fingerprints of all those arrested to identify illegal immigrants — between Oct 2008 and May 2010 over 2.6 million people were screened and this yielded 35,000 illegals previously arrested and/or convicted.
This finds the illegals who change their names and birthdates when arrested. This could deport more illegals than Arizona’s law, and the illegal advocates are in quite a snit. Worth reading
