The Arizona Immigration Law is Constitutional

For the Constitutionality of the Arizona Immigration Law that requires state law enforcement officers to enforce immigration law, see:

Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act:
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), effective September 30, 1996 (updated in 2008), added Section 287(g), performance of immigration officer functions by state officers and employees, to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This authorizes the secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting designated officers to perform immigration law enforcement functions, pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), provided that the local law enforcement officers receive appropriate training and function under the supervision of sworn U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
State and local patrol officers, detectives, investigators and correctional officers working in conjunction with ICE gain: necessary resources and authority to pursue investigations relating to violent crimes, human smuggling, gang/organized crime activity, sexual-related offenses, narcotics smuggling and money laundering; and support in more remote geographical locations. (Section 287 (a) through (f) show the authority of ICE to arrest and deport illegal aliens, independent of other law enforcement agencies. See 8 USC 1357.)

The opponents of State Immigration Law Enforcement are not interested in the Constitution or the Rule of Law.

The Constitution requires that Congress and the President protect each state in the Union from foreign invasion. See Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. All Congressmen and the President take an oath of office in which they swear to uphold and defend the Constitution, but apparently in recent years both those entities of our Government have come to show contempt for their duties under the Constitution .

Federal statutes require that immigration laws be enforced, that violators be arrested and deported. See the above link for arrest, and for deportation see 8 USC 1227.
