Section 2b of the law was upheld:
and §2(B) requires officers conducting a stop, detention, or arrest to make efforts, in some circumstances, toverify the persons immigration status with the Federal Government.
Sections stuck down:
Section 3 makes failure to comply with federal alien-registration requirements a state misdemeanor; §5(C)makes it a misdemeanor for an unauthorized alien to seek or engage in work in the State; §6 authorizes state and local officers to arrest without a warrant a person the officer has probable cause to believe . . . has committed any public offense that makes the person removable

This sounds like a lazy state legislature that doesn't much care for the 9th and 10th in this regard.
If their law really did merely rubber-stamp "whatever federal alien-registration laws" might be in effect, then the State would be committing itself to enforce (instead of ICE, DHS) whatever immigration registration Congress hands down.
If that is the intent, then as others have posted, AZ law enforcement could've been directed to do same and then instead sued the feds to pay for it. No state legislation needed to bind their hands.

Booshes fault. (for ceding the office to a foreigner)

It already is and has been for a number of years not legal AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL for any employer to hire a person who is not authorized to work in the USA.
IF a form I-9 is properly filled out and the applicant cannot prove that they are authorized to work in the USA, an employer cannot hire them.
IF they choose to hire them and get caught-—the fine can be as high as $5000 a day per employee.
I liked Eisenhower’s immigration policies. If you are found to have hired illegals you lost your business license.
