if the Supreme Court follows through on its suggestion that it would let local police enforce the most controversial part of Arizona's immigration law

It's only controversial to a jerk with a name like Jacques.

Arizona cops AND California cops routinely busted people for being in the country illegally up into the 1990s, when the La Racista mobsters started the chattering campaign about "a state cannot enforce de federal Eeem-eegration laws".

Which was a load of crap intended to defeat enforcement.

Now we need a Supreme Court decision to legitimize that which was routine for 100 years?

They cannot deport people. They can transfer folks to the Feds, and can hold them for the feds, but they can’t send them home.

Depending on local enforcement isn’t going to help, not in the short or the long run. Essentially it means that the war is lost. Now you’re depending on cities to enforce what the country will not.

I hope you can see why this strategy is a losing strategy. the Feds have to uphold the law.
