In order to pass comprehensive immigration reform, Congress included some "get tough" measures intended to expedite the deportation of persons in the United States illegally who commit other crimes. The bill requires state and local law enforcement officials to check the immigration status of persons they detain or arrest. The chief of an overworked rural sheriff's department sues, claiming that the requirement is unconstitutional. A reviewing court should:
(A) Uphold the provision, because it is necessary and proper to Congress's Article I power to prescribe uniform rules for naturalization.
(B) Uphold the provision, because it is the supreme law of the land, which state officials must obey.
(C) Invalidate the provision, because it exceeds Congress's power under the Commerce Clause.
(D) Invalidate the provision, because it impermissibly commandeers state executive officials.
