The state would be unable to escrow federal tax collections because it never has custody of the monies. One's check is sent to an IRS office, which often is not located within his home state. It is possible that other taxes might be able to be escrowed, such as (possibly) gasoline, etc., although I doubt that the state has much contact with the money. On the issue of a showdown, I believe that it would be disastrous for Obama. Despite the ignorant assumptions made by people like johninoregon and wrightswrong52, the vast majority of Americans are on the side of Arizona...not with Obama, Holder and Napolitano. If Cesar Chavez was alive today, he would be fighting to secure the border and crackdown on illegal immigration.

Immigration Decision Will Erode Obama Support

When Judge Susan Bolton granted an injunction halting the enforcement of key provisions of the Arizona immigration enforcement law, she ruled in favor of the Justice Department's position, but against the president's political interest.

Had the judge sustained this law, it would have made moot Barack Obama's opposition to the Arizona law. As it is, she has transformed the law into a big campaign issue against Obama. Now the president is standing in the way of a state that wants to enforce the law that he won't.

The Arizona law is massively popular in the United States....
