Arizona immigration issues lead to issues with the Federal Government

An article entitled, Arizona Sues Feds Over Immigration Issues, shown in USA Today, discusses Arizona's grievances with the Federal government in relation to their lack of action when it comes to border issues and the lawsuit that has resulted. Filed on Thursday afternoon, the lawsuit is a countersuit to the lawsuit the Federal government placed on Arizona questioning the constitutionality of immigration law, SB1070. The lawsuit maintains that by suing Arizona, the Federal government has failed to uphold the 10th Amendment, maintain operational control of the border, enforce immigration laws, and protect Arizona against "invasion." Basically Arizona is just asking that the Federal government do it's job. The Federal government has informally responded to this lawsuit by saying that there are other more pressing issues that should be focused on by Arizona. The article in USA today is short and informative on the topic and gives the reader the general idea of a current issue dealing directly with the interpretation and application of the Constitution by the Federal government.
