Question:
In 2010 Arizona passed a law that sought to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants in the state. The law made it a crime to seek or obtain work in the state without proper documentation and it also made hiring, sheltering or transporting undocumented people illegal. it also gave them the authority to perform warrantless stops of people they suspected of being undocumented.
The United States Department of Justicechallged the state law as an interference with the national governments enumerated powers to regulate and enforce immigration law. In Arizona v. United Staes (2012), the Supreme Court agreed with the US in a 6-6 descision stating most of the provisions of the law did conflict with federal authority. The Court said, "The Government of the US has broad, undoubted power over the subject of immigration and the status of aliens. . . . This authority rests, in part, on the National Government's constitutional power to establish and uniform Rule of Naturalization, and its inherent power as sovereign to control and conduct relations with foreign nations."
