Four provisions (1) created a state-law crime for being unlawfully present in the United
States (2) created a state-law crime for working or seeking work while not
authorized to do so (3) required state and local officers to verify the citizenship or alien status
of anyone who was lawfully arrested or detained (4) authorized warrantless arrests of aliens believed to be removable from
the United States. Does federal immigration law 1) preclude Arizona's enforcement
efforts and 2) preempt AZ law?
