No, I know what Arizona's law is. I keep reading that they are just enforcing a federal law already on the books and I am just curious which federal law this Arizona law is supposed to be an exact copy of.

And yet they don't.......
The state has the right to defend itself, and anyone thinking this is anything other than grandstanding by the left to garner votes is delusional.
If the State feels threatened it cannot act on its own and must contact DC, anything beyond that is overstepping.

Hmm mistruths huh ?
A couple of quick questions then..
1)Does the Fed have a law making it illegal to cross the border without papers ? - Yes, no papers from INS and you are on the next plane out.
2)Is it the Fed's responsibility to guard the borders and stop this happening ? - Yes, this is their juridsiction.
3)Did the Fed cut the budget for border security ? - The GOP cut the money for border matters because so that it's multi Trillion dollar lobbying firms could exploit them for dirt cheap labour all while avoiding paying income taxes on all money,
4)Is the Fed stopping illegal immigration ? - Yes, but with the State in the way this hinders Border, INS and ICE from sucessfully completing the task before them.
5)Does Obama need more votes from Latinos ? - This has nothing to do with tha Latino voting bloc an attempot at diversion caught.

Regardless of how the law reads the law is the law and the law is that only Federal can enforce Federal law.
Remember the Border Fence started under 43 that Obama cancelled because we are not Germany who feels the need to wall ourselves off from the rest of the world. Racism at its finest is on total display, my, my!

I am afraid you are completely missing what it is I am asking. It even appears you may be looking for an argument that is not here. Maybe not?
For the people that claim Arizona is just trying to enforce an already existing federal law, I would like to know which federal law that is.
I am sorry if this question is not making sense.

The point I am making is not to deny a State the right to pass a law as all State have a sovereign right to do but to deny a State from enforcing Federal law as if it were it's own.
Immigration and National Security is Federal territory which means the States must stay away. This matter was Arizona law that illegally gave the State Border and Customs level authourity.
IE, New Jersey cannot touch nor enforce Federal law.
