...for not enforcing immigration law?
The federal government has practiced a policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws once a person makes it across the border for decades. They have the force of law on their side merely because they have the machinery of law enforcement is under their control.
Is there any way to turn the tables on them?
If you are the victim of a criminal illegal alien who was known to be here and remained with the tacit approval of the federal government, isn't the government guilty of malfeasance?

Is the underlying theory that, because the employer hired illegal aliens in violation of the law and continuously employed them over a period of time, the employer was engaged in a continuing criminal enterprise?
And the plaintiff is saying that they were harmed by the employee, who would not have been here had the employer not been paying him?

***Not as far as I know. The approach requires deep pockets because you’d have to pay the lawyers up front.
Suing the federal government is like pissing in the wind, you are gonna get covered in piss.
Selective enforcement via Bureaucratic bloatware.
Why can’t we have simple laws that are equally enforced across the board?
Because the Oligarchs would never be able to stay in power that way.
