[ I guess the answer is for either the feds to cede this authority back to the states, or have states pass their own laws about illegal immigration, but that really puts the burden back on the states. I don't see how you fight a war on terrorism if one state lets them in while another doesn't. ]

The states thet DOn't make hiring illegals illegal.. will soon see the error of their ways.. Illegal aliens are already illegal federally, so states makeing hiring the illegals, illegal too are merely complying with the law.. Another thing, a state can reject citizens the federals make citizens, its a defacto violation of the 10th amendment.., if not, reject them anyways.. Some states need to get in the feds face about a lot of things.. The ACLU has proved you can put monkey wrenches in federal law.. I say its time to USE that lawyerly sophistry.. and tie up the federal gov't WITH the LAW.. based on the Constitution.. The war really is between the Feds and the States.. Hamstring the federal courts by, say, makeing a state law that socialism in that state is against the law.. starting with TEXAS.. and challenge the federal government to PROVE socialism in any way is beneficial.. Should be easy to PROVE that it is NOT..

There should be a war between the feds and states, but the feds are smart, they pass laws with $$$$ strings attached and with the states becoming more socialist by the day, that money is just to addictive, so there's never going to be a state stand up to the feds.
