Opponents of Arizona's new immigration enforcement law protest outside the state capitol building on April 25, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona

As fallout continues over passage of Arizona's strict immigration law, the Obama administration is examining possible legal challenges to the measure, which would allow local police to demand proof of citizenship when it takes effect this summer. One option would charge that the Arizona law preempts the federal government's role in controlling the country's borders, while a civil rights challenge would charge that the law encourages racial profiling. At the same time, will the situation in Arizona force Congress to address immigration reform? President Obama has said that Congress may not have the "appetite immediately to dive into another controversial issue." How is the legal fight over immigration likely to play out?
