(CNN) -- The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking an injunction to stop Arizona's tough new immigration law from taking effect later this month.
The law, signed by Gov. Jan Brewer in April, requires police to question people about their status if they have been detained for another reason and if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them.
Here are five key questions about the lawsuit.
Q: What's the Obama administration's argument against the Arizona immigration law?
A: While most of the criticism of the law has been that it could encourage racial profiling, the administration's challenge is based on the so-called supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution -- that when state and federal laws conflict, federal law is supreme.
In this case, the administration is saying that anything that relates to foreign policy or relations with other countries is strictly the province of the federal government and that Arizona's law interferes with a federal function.
"In our constitutional system, the power to regulate immigration is exclusively vested in the federal government," the Justice Department brief said. "The immigration framework set forth by Congress and administered by federal agencies reflects a careful and considered balance of national law enforcement, foreign relations, and humanitarian concerns -- concerns that belong to the nation as a whole, not a single state."
Q: What do proponents of the law say?
A: That the federal government isn't doing enough to secure the borders and tackle an issue they say is plaguing the state's economy and safety.
Brewer, a Republican, said that the Arizona law was designed "to complement, not supplant, enforcement of federal immigration laws,
She said it was "wrong" that the federal government is suing the people of Arizona for helping to enforce federal immigration law, adding: "Today's filing is nothing more than a massive waste of taxpayer funds. These funds could be better used against the violent Mexican cartels than the people of Arizona."
Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican who sponsored the state's law, blasted the lawsuit, telling CNN that the Obama administration has "no leg to stand on."
Q: What happens next?
A: A federal judge is likely to take up the issue as soon as next week, reports indicate.
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said the lawsuit is most likely headed up the appeals court chain.
"I think this will go to the district court in Arizona first, but it is likely to be appealed to the circuit court of appeals and very likely to the U.S. Supreme Court," he said.
Brewer said she would fight the government lawsuit with the help of a legal defense fund.
Q: What do Americans think about the law?
A: According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll conducted in May, 57 percent of the public favored the measure, with 37 percent opposed.
Since then, national polls by Quinnipiac University (51-31 percent in favor), ABC News/Washington Post (58-41 percent in favor) and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics (52-27 percent in favor) also indicate that a majority back the new law.
Most of the surveys also indicate that a vast majority want border security beefed up, and that most Americans also favor giving illegal immigrants now living in the U.S. the right to live here legally if they pay a fine and meet other requirements. When asked which issue is most important, a majority of voters say border security trumps immigration reform as the top priority for the federal government.
Q: What's the outlook for federal immigration reform legislation?
A: Several senior Democratic sources said last week they see virtually no chance of Congress taking up such a measure before November's midterm elections.
Still, the sources said it was politically crucial for the president to put pressure on Republicans and reassure angry Latino voters that Democrats haven't forgotten about this issue.
Immigration is not necessarily a make-it-or-break-it issue for the influential voting bloc. A Pew study released in 2008 indicated that Latinos placed immigration second to last on a list of seven policy priorities. The economy, education and health care were ranked as more important.
But in the months since Arizona passed its immigration law, more recent surveys have indicated that the issue has risen to the top for Latinos. A survey commissioned by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials indicates that the immigration debate has made Latinos more likely to vote in November.Comment

This law was absolutely necessary. The Federal government is completely dragging their feet on this issue. The People Of The United States need to take action, if the Federal government refuses to do so.
As the Feds ARE refusing to do anything substantial, it could be said they are actively endangering national security.
This is not JUST the Mobama administration. The treasonous assholes of the Chimpy administration are just as guilty if not moreso. 9/11 happened on THEIR watch, Chimpy actually stated publicly that our borders need to be secured.....and what happened?
NOTHING!
In fact, so much nothing that American Citizens began going to the border to do what the Feds would not - ACTUALLY TRY TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.Comment

I don't have a god, dummy...
And let's define "securing the border," because it can't be done without destroying the economy....
You rabble rouser you! Okay, nice argument with the last sentence, Josef Goebbels couldn't have made a more persuasive argument...I'm not a Retardlican, and I'm not a Dumbasscrat either....I think it's a two-headed beast of the same creature that needs to be fucking destroyed and spare every American the goddamn WWE drama...it's all fake-ass bullshit, and they completely underestimate the intelligence of your average American.....it's enough already!
The way you motherfuckers roll.....is just non-stop comedy! It doesn't matter whether it's the oil spill to conveniently slip your cap-and-trade shit into, Immigration, or even Unemployment......there's always some extra shit slipped into the bill that has to be accepted as a package-deal, or not at all. A crisis is NOT an opportunity, fuckholes!!!
I hate the fucking Retardlicans, I really do, but I hate you motherfuckers just as much.......you Dumbasscrats are all greasier than a fuckin' bucket of chicken wings.
No one issue can be dealt with head-to-head....not even ones as important as Illegal Immigration....and you won't get a straight answer, let alone a solution, to it either. It's always some other administrations fucking fault.....when the truth of the matter is that the government just sat on the ball for far too long.
The state of Arizona got fed up waiting for an answer, and made a move on their own.....GOOD FOR THEM! And if you don't like it, then FUCK YOU....at least somebody made a move toward "change" instead of yakking out of their ass about it.
Like it was stated earlier in this thread......if you're not breaking the law, then what the fuck are you worried about?Comment

Today I was carded at the gas station for smokes because "I appeared" under 30. So it's okay for some kid to require my ID because I appear a certain way but not okay for a police officer, in the process of a legal stop, to require someones ID?“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.
