Now that's something I'd love to see - the Federal government trying to interfere with a state government and its voluntary citizen militia protecting its borders from invasion... Such an event could very well spell the collapse of the Federal government if both sides held their ground.

No, it wouldn't, and a lot of people would go to jail in such a scenario. Congress has Constitutional authority over immigration and naturalization. If you want to enable the amnesty steamroller, question that authority.

There's no need to act like knuckleheads. If you oppose amnesty, pressure Congress to incorporate Tancredo's BE REAL Act into the President's immigration reform proposal.

"No, it wouldn't, and a lot of people would go to jail in such a scenario."

The states in question would have broad appeal to the American people. The Federal government would either comply, or it would collapse. The Federal government depends entirely on the support of the people. With our all-volunteer military, you will never see a 40+ state uprising put down. The American people would never stand for Federal interference in such an effort, regardless of what is technically lawful jurisdiction. Anyone arrested would probably have no problem at trial. Jury nullification would see to that.
