Could states rely on multiple illegalities to detain illegals? For example, if a speeder is also guilty of failure to pay child support, or failure to pay parking fines, can he not be detained?

Being illegally in the country is more egregious than failure to pay child support.

Could laws be revised to simply state that multiple offenses warrant detention of suspects with illegal immigration simply being one of many that would qualify?

Or, how about the multiple illegality of falsely utilizing state services?

Time to invoke the SSS technique.

I favor busing the invaders to Washington DC and dumping them off at either 1600 Pennsylvania Ave or 1 First Street, NE...

They could, but the objective is to get the illegals removed from the country. Detaining them doesn't do that, and now ICE won't remove them either. Perhaps ya just gotta put them on a one-way bus to California...

Could states rely on multiple illegalities to detain illegals?

They don't dare do that because it costs a TON of money to house, feed, and prosecute detainees. And unfortunately there are whole economic sectors that depend on an unlimited pool of illegal labor, quietly working to subvert anything more than token enforcement.
