Arizona Showdown
Joe's Law or Obama's lawlessness?
Fox News -- September 19   
Judge rules that Arizona police can check immigration status
Phoenix -- A judge in Arizona ruled Tuesday that police can immediately start enforcing the most contentious section of the state's immigration law, marking the first time officers can carry out the so-called "show me your papers" provision.
    The decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is the latest milestone in a two-year legal battle over the requirement. It culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that upheld the provision on the grounds that it doesn't conflict with federal law.
    Now, with the requirement finally in full effect, both sides are anxious to see the outcome.
    The supporters want local police to use it vigorously, but worry federal immigration officials won't respond to calls to come arrest people.
    "I am mulling what I will do if they don't respond," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who more than any other police boss in the state pushed the bounds of immigration enforcement. "I don't feel comfortable letting the illegal alien back on the street."
    Federal officials said they will check people's immigration status when officers call. But they'll only send an agent to arrest someone if it fits with their priorities, such as catching repeat violators and those who are a threat to public safety and national security.
