Arizona Immigration Law not Unusual

Clayton Cramer writes at Pajamas Media, Arizona Immigration Law not Historically Unusual

For all the screeching about Arizona’s new immigration law, you would think that this is a new question: may a state enforce federal immigration law? I know better than to predict how the U.S. Supreme Court will decide this question, but if we look to history, this should be easy. We have plenty of examples of states enforcing immigration laws that were actually stricter than federal immigration law.
