Why should we have a citizenship law that is not enforced?
Why even HAVE the law then?
This is not an Obama problem, it did not start with him. However the portion of the law that SCOTUS upheld was upheld because the feds argued that it PREVENTED them from enforcement of proper processing of illegal aliens… but they didn’t enforce the law from the beginning. Even SCOTUS could not believe that argument from the feds and thus upheld that portion of the AZ argument.

SDR, I drive straight thru AZ (or up to I-40 and then thru it) one or more times annually RT. The Feds ARE enforcing the “law” on the I-8/I-10 portion that lies near the int’l border. At all times, they have 2-3 “checkpoints” set up along this route in which all east/west motorists are stopped and asked about their “citizenship.” If it is dark, they shine a flashlight throughout the vehicles. Many, many drivers are engaged in conversation and a percentage of them are pulled over to “makeshift `secondary’ trailers” for further questioning, so the motorists can search for their documents, or because something about the vehicle makes them want to search it. Day and night, K-9 units are at the ready to circle around vehicles once or twice. The whole procedure could take 45 seconds to two hours, depending on many factors.
Note that “east-west” traffic is cross-country interstate traffic. These checkpoints are NOT set up on roads coming to/from the int’l border. This “procedure” has been going on since 9/11.
