yes, we're actively opposed to any law that says that we're suppoosed to do the job we are paid for

No, I don't think so. Whether this guy is saying this or not, the job of local police is certainly not to enforce federal law, and I have a GREAT deal of trouble with a federal government that can order state and local executive officers to do the Federal government's bidding.

If the Congress wants to make such laws, let them use federal agents to enforce the laws.

Exactly! Securing our borders and repelling invasions is a Constitutionally enumerated duty of the FEDERAL government.

They have no authority to force local police to do it for them.

Hey, Uncle Sam..... Why don't you pull all our soldiers from these countries that do nothing but talk $hit about us and UPHOLD THE LAW!

Hear, hear. It's funny how quickly some drop the veneer of "states' rights" and "federalism" when they get to gore their favorite hobbyhorse.
