--L.A. Times col. 1, 'OBAMA LAWYERS WEIGH ARIZONA OPTIONS,' by Richard A. Serrano and Peter Nicholas: 'A team of top government lawyers has quietly begun studying legal strategies for the Obama administration to mount a challenge to Arizona's new illegal immigration law, including the filing of a federal lawsuit against the state or joining a suit brought by others ... Attorneys from the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security are examining legal options and hope to make suggestions by mid-May, before the Arizona law takes effect sometime in midsummer ... Grounds for a possible U.S. challenge could include charges that the Arizona measure unlawfully preempts the federal government's role in securing the country's borders ... Or federal officials could file a civil rights challenge asserting that the law encourages racial profiling.'

Duncan Hunter: Deport Illegal Immigrants' Children Who Are Natural-Born Americans
Now here is an un-American idea. Lets take citizens of our country, children, and say under our constitution you have no rights and we want you to GET OUT. Wow. Who would Congressman Hunter put out of our country next, which United States citizens would he come for next. Whose door would he come to with the border police to remove you from your house and put you on a bus out of the country.
I thought his father was awful in Congress. Should have guessed it could get worse.

--AP, 'Referendum could delay AZ immigration law to 2012,' by Jonathan J. Cooper and Paul Davenport: 'Challenges to Arizona's tough new law targeting illegal immigration have started to emerge ... The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders says it will file suit Thursday in Phoenix federal court, the first of several lawsuits expected in coming months. ... The group argues federal law pre-empts state regulation of national borders, and that Arizona's law violates due-process rights by allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be detained before they're convicted.'
