Why is the Obama Administration, in conjunction with the government of Mexico, suing the state of Arizona.....?

..... because they placed into their state laws the exact same illegal alien ID requirements that have existed in federal law for the last 70 years. Have a look at paragraph E

    Apparently Arizona knows the law and they intend to enforce it .

    NOT THAT I AGREE, but from what I understand, Eric Holder isn't suing Arizona over their immigration law itself (since it's the same as the federal law) but they're suing Arizona because they're claiming that a state doesn't have the authority to enforce federal law! So I guess what they're saying is if an AZ state trooper sees a bunch of illegals darting across the boarder, they're supposed to call and wait for the Border Patrol to show up.
