Arizona has already done so.

My understanding is Arizona almost did so but didn't thanks in large part to a few Republicans in the Arizona State Senate that voted no.

Actually what happened was the Arizona Senate backed down from passing the bill after the anti-illegal measure was passed because it was felt it would be too expensive to try and defend both laws in federal court. Arizona has already spent an estimated 5 million dollars defending the illegal alien case and it is not even half way to SCOTUS. It is believed that it will take upwards of 10 million dollars for a state to litigate this issue all the way to SCOTUS. Unfortunately, the taxpayer will be on the hook for both sides legal fees in litigating such a case.
