   Brewer: Feds 'after' Arizona

     Govenor Jan Brewer is furious, because "they don't want to do their job". She is reffering to the Obama party, and how they are unwilling to help with the immigration issues within the state of Arizona. Gov. Brewer is upset because the Obama party will not help but instead attack her state, Arizona, because they can not handle the mass amount of immagration that is going into Arizona. There are several federal court cases with the state of Arizona vs. the United States, one where Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was being accused of racial profiling.
     The tenth amendment is stated as "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people". It pretty much enforces the rights of states under the Constitution. This issue deals with the tenth amendment because it shows how the state of Arizona has a right to try to detain the excessive amount of illegal immigration into the United States. The state of Arizona also has the right to petition the legislative branch for help with detaining this by the force of the Army, or Navy which could be approved by the president. Arizona also has the right to legally petition for a racial profiling bill where as though with several legal procedures that they can find out who is an illegal alien or not. This is also legit because this falls in a situtation where as the Constitution does not specify what should be done in this situation. Thus giving the right to Govenor Brewer to try to pass this bill to help control this issue.
    In my personal opinion the Governor has a right to be upset that the President and his party are not their job, but can not be upset of why he wont do it. Governor Brewer seems to not understand how complicated and hard it is to run a system that will efficently tell if someone is  an illegal or legal resident. The whole situation dealing with the Supreme Court trying to sue the sherriff is that is dealing with actually a legal U.S. citizen. I believe that there should be some type of national identification that everybody in the U.S., including children, should have so that people will know if they are a resident or not. Maybe once this issue is solved our immigration rate will decline, and maybe the act of naturalising will occur.
