Technically nullification works just as well. Failure of the Federal government to enforce federal laws surrounding immigration would be grounds for a state, any state, to invoke nullification.
However, in this example, it would only provide the means for the state to remove foreign nationals found to be there illegally to another state in the union.
It wouldn’t provide the means of deportation unless coupled with outright secession.
I believe that would be a more profitable tack. Let the federal government attempt to pass amnesty, but have the state enforce the laws within their own territory and remove those foriegn nationals found illegally to the rest of the united states. Escorted + bus ticket out would probably be sufficient.
You missed the USSC ruling on SB 1070, didn't you?
They declared that the States cannot enforce Federal immigration law, nor can they mirror it in State Law.
