Federal Arizona immigration lawsuit thinks that state law is illegal

The Arizona immigration law was challenged Tuesday within a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Justice Department. The federal government wants to block the law from taking effect later this month. The Arizona immigration lawsuit claims that Arizona's new law is unconstitutional because it overrides the exact federal immigration law. Supporters of the Arizona immigration law believe that a state can’t wait for the federal government to deal with immigration reform.
