you don’t think there is a practical problem for border state governments if the federal government refuses to deal with the problem?

It is a federal issue.

It is not Texas’s job to secure the border for folks in Peoria, but we do.
And what do we get for it? We get flak from people that don’t pay or patrol.

Did you just change the "problem" from instate tuition for invaders, to invaders crossing federally unenforced borders?

Of course, I believe the latter is substantial and significant, rising to the level of a failure of a Constitutional duty by the Executive branch.

By its definition, the hardship caused by that failure has no place in an argument that tries to justify instate tuition for the invaders; i.e., it isn't relevant.
