I can think of a couple of questions. Can someone who is here illegally still be considered a legal resident? Of course, there's a line where a State has the right to do what it wishes on certain issues, but to what extent does a state have an obligation to respect Federal law, especially in matters of immigration? This sounds like a jurisdiction issue, State versus Federal.
i'm not a lawyer.
my understanding is that it's the federal government's responsibility outlined in the u.s. constitution to protect our borders.
as for the illegal legal...that's what leftists want us to accept!
