Is the immigration law in Arizona similar to the States Rights argument that led to the American Civil War? Are we headed for another Civil War?

We essentially have an open border with Mexico and it appears Mexicans are pouring through to the United States to take advantage of our welfare systems Medical care jobs and many other advantages of American citizenship. The Federal Government is charged with securing the border and is failing miserably at it. Arizona has finally decided to enact a State law to protect themselves. With all the Federal and media backlash has this turned into an argument over states rights as happened before the Civil War? Is this the kind of issue that can be so polarizing so as to trigger another Civil War?
