The Obama administration on Monday sued to block enforcement of Alabama's new immigration law, widely considered to be the toughest measure in the United States to try to crack down on illegal immigrants.Obama would prefer law-abiding citizens be harassed by his union goons.
The law, known as H.B. 56, was signed by Republican Governor Robert Bentley in June and is due to take effect on September 1. Civil rights groups brought a separate lawsuit challenging the law about a month ago.
"If allowed to go into effect, H.B. 56's enforcement scheme will conflict with and undermine the federal government's careful balance of immigration enforcement priorities and objectives," administration lawyers said in the lawsuit filed in federal court.
"The scheme will cause the detention and harassment of authorized visitors, immigrants, and citizens who do not have or carry identification documents specified by the statute, or who otherwise will be swept into the ambit of H.B. 56's enforcement-at-all-costs approach," the lawsuit said.

So in this context, "balance" means that not only does the federal government turn a blind eye to immigration violations, they are also going to prevent states from enforcing laws they should be enforcing in the first place.
aren't visitors and immigrants supposed to have their visas and or green cards on their persons at all times? isn't that federal law? why then does it matter if they are asked to produce it? This falls under things that should make you go "hmmmmm....." Is 2013 here yet?
