[Repeal The 17th]

I have read everything up to here and there is something I still just don’t understand.

If the county sheriff shows up at someone’s house and finds them:
...distilling/selling illegal alcohol (a federal no-no)
...printing 100’s on their color printer (a federal no-no)
...sawing off shotgun barrels (a federal no-no)
...etc, etc, etc,
I certainly expect the sheriff would escort them off to jail.

But if the sheriff finds a person who
...has entered the country illegally (a federal no-no)
how is it different in that case,
that the sheriff should just turn a blind eye?

Thanks!

Have you read the opinion itself?
