So now the US government is going to sue the State of Arizona because the state is enforcing a federal law? It reminds me of the movie title Kramer vs. Kramer which suggests that fighting yourself will not be productive.
Besides, if I read the constitution correctly, it's not allowed.
As much as the administration wants to "emotionalize" the issue, this has nothing to due with race, your opinion of Hispanics, or prejudice. Those who want to boycott the state reveal themselves as easily manipulated by such emotionalism.
The US needs immigration in the worst way. Our birth rate will not sustain our country's needs, and our educational system is turning out too far too few math and science majors. Other countries are over-populated and in some cases, better educated, so common sense dictates a rational and aggressive immigration (should I say "recruitment"?) policy.
However, we need the right educational mix and people who are dedicated to America. We're not achieving that by looking the other way on illegal immigration and ignoring the enforcement of laws already on the books.
The federal government needs to adopt a positive attitude on this issue by designing a viable immigration policy that strengthens America. Suing Arizona and making this a race problem is not creative problem-solving.
