If they do, they sure aren't acting like it. Look, when I get stopped by a cop, I have to show my ID and registration.

The obvious solution, over a decade ago, was building a barrier along the border. I even priced it out, assuming it would cost the same as the wall the Israelis built (about $5 million per mile back then.) Compared to what the illegal problem costs us every year, it was chump change.

Once we've controlled the border, which passes a lot of nasty types who aren't just looking for farm work, we can decide how wide the gates should be. If we leave it open, we have to deal with the people once they're here.

Or we can just give up and just assume that everyone on the planet can come here whenever and however they want. Tell Congress to either scrap the immigration laws or enforce them. Arizona decided to enforce them.

It's critical to realize that Arizona did not create any new laws that are not already on the Federal books. It just decided to recognize that the laws exist.
