Fed law on immigrants

From the United States federal website, welcome guide to the United States, on page eight: "As a permanent resident, it is your responsibility to obey all federal, state, and local laws," except in Arizona. "Pay federal, state, and local income taxes," except in Arizona. "Register with the Selective Service if you're a male between 18 and 26, see page 11 for instructions." All this is true except if you are illegal in Arizona. "You are a permanent resident required to maintain your immigration status," except in Arizona. "And you are required to carry proof of your permanent resident status at all times," except in Arizona, and by extension, every other state now, theoretically. If you can't preempt federal law anywhere else, then we in big doo-doo, heap big doo-doo.
