And supporting those federal laws would be correct as well.

“I would argue that if you enter legally following federal law then you are an immigrant. Otherwise you are an Invader.”

I agree. My wife and adopted son are both LEGAL immigrants. He eventually did 2 tours in the ME. Both naturalized citizens for decades now.

Never had a problem with migrant workers, but I grew up in southern Arizona and migrants, as you said, did seasonal work.

Ahhh...
But the ruling is not about the state government or it’s law enforcement agencies assisting the fed...
It’s about a law passed by the state legislature attempting to regulate immigration in the state of Florida.
And I didn’t call you or anyone else a jackass...

I was checking that pesky constitution thingie and there it was!!!! The power to regulate immigration was specifically granted to the fed.

I looked. I couldn't find it. Please tell me the Article and Section. Thanks.

<>The word “Invasion” is also in the Constitution. Do states have the right to defend themselves from invasion? I would argue yes, but I’m not a Constitutional expert.<>

Unlike most federal judges, you can read and comprehend English.

Yes, the states can defend themselves.

Democracy is no more or less than mob rule, democrats love that.

Te question for America is........ Can Americans be held in contempt by a contemptable judge?

No harm, no foul

Article 1 section 8 clause 18 Long-standing Supreme Court precedent recognizes Congress as having plenary power over immigration, giving it almost complete authority to decide whether foreign nationals (aliens, under governing statutes and case law) may enter or remain in the United States.
