Arizona obviously has a terrible border security crisis that needs to be addressed, so Gov. Brewer has repeatedly said she would have preferred the resources and attention of the federal government would be focused on that crisis rather than this, spokesman Paul Senseman said.Three of the five Democrats in Arizonas congressional delegation, who are facing tough re-election battles, had also urged Obama not to try to block the law from going into effect.Republican Sens. Jon Kyl and John McCain of Arizona also lashed out at the administrations decision, saying the American people must wonder whether the Obama Administration is really committed to securing the border when it sues a state that is simply trying to protect its people by enforcing immigration law.The law requires officers, while enforcing other laws, to question a persons immigration status if theres a reasonable suspicion that they are in the country illegally.
