“Nothing gets Americans’ dander up like messing with States’ rights. This is especially true when the Federal Government, as it says, has jurisdiction but then failed to do their job.

Federal law trumps state laws as the Preemption clause says in the Constitution, but what if the Federal Statue is full of holes or is unenforced, leaving states with demonstrated material damage. Can the state recover damages through their own suit against the Feds for the cost of illegal immigration?

Now, don’t get me wrong. I am in favor of legal immigration, but it must be within our capacity to manage in accordance with the law. Illegal immigration is a wound that has been allowed to fester to the point of threatening the health of the Nation.” – by YankeeJim
