However having a law that is not enforced just seems lame to me. If we don’t want to enforce immigration then don’t enforce it at all… Having some sort of bizarre selective enforcement is a joke.[/quote]
I don’t disagree with this. But the fact is, every law enforcement agency across the country has to allocate resources. Those resources are directed at what the powers that be decide are the most pressing issues. Enforcement of other laws are either minimal or in some cases dismissed entirely. Immigration is no different.
Nothing in this ruling prohibits AZ from enforcing existing federal laws, to the same extent that federal agencies are allowed to enforce them. And with some very minor exceptions, there is little evidence that federal laws aren’t being enforced.
