It’s a constitutional doctrine. No one is allowed to file amorphous grievances in federal courts. It must be a very concrete harm actually suffered by the plaintiff and as a result of an unconstitutional law. This article states that state governments may take a case directly to the US Supreme Court as against the Federal Government. The point made in the article is quite persuasive. Worth a full read.
this could work. Cleaner than impeachment, can't blame a political party since it's the entire state doing the suing, and it goes straight to the Supremes instead of through lower courts. I like it.
Thanks for posting this.
We also need to factor in solid facts WRT communities devastated by onerous education, welfare, healthcare costs, and so on---costs borne by taxpayers.

=================================================
REFERENCE SOURCE justice.gov---Criminal Resource Manual ---Section 9-131.000---THE HOBBS ACT—18 U.S.C. § 1951
The Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C. § 1951) prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce. Section 1951 also proscribes conspiracy to commit robbery or extortion without reference to the conspiracy statute at 18 U.S.C. § 371. Although the Hobbs Act was enacted as a statute to combat racketeering in labor-management disputes, the statute is frequently used in connection with cases involving public corruption, commercial disputes, and corruption directed at members of labor unions (has been recently utilized against corrupt elected officials).
Primary investigative jurisdiction of offenses in 18 U.S.C. § 1951 lies with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Inspector General's Office of Investigations, Division of Labor Racketeering (formerly the Office of Labor Racketeering), United States Department of Labor, is also authorized to investigate violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1951 in labor-management disputes involving the extortion of property from employers by reason of authority conferred on investigators as Special Deputy United States Marshals.--snip--

Migrant crimes most probably include (1) falsifying official documents, (2) giving false info to US authorities, (3) stealing SS nos, (4) faking multiple identities, (5) receiving govt monies under false pretenses, (6)falsifying tax returns to get EITC refunds, (7) money-laundering via remittanced to homelands, (8) colluding w/ criminal drug cartels to violate US borders...perhaps aiding and abetting by carrying drugs into the US.
This triggers RICO laws b/c it involves patterns of criminal behavior. NOTE: Anyone can file a RICO. Lots of how-to's on the web.
