“Not sure that you are correct on that since iilegal aliens live in a State first and the United States second.”

Can I be a citizen of your state yet not a citizen of the US? No. I am entitled to the rights of an american citizen first. You are a US citizen first, then a citizen of your respective states. Was always thus.

An illegal alien is neither a citizen of a state, nor a citizen of the United States, though he must live IN a state. If tomorrow the State of California were to grant rights to illegal aliens residing there, (any rights which that state may confer on individuals - e.g. right to public schooling, right to a drvier’s license, right to free health care, whatever) Arizona would NOT be obliged to follow, either under the Constitution (since they are not US Citizens) or under the “full faith and credit” clause.

It is easy to say that it is the Fed’s problem, but the ICE has many fewer people than do the combined Law Enforcement agencies of the several cities, counties and States which are having the problem. States need to empty their prisons of illegals and turn them all over to the Feds. The Feds will soon find that they have found the will to deport them.
