Why does CA get to ignore federal immigration laws? Texas should ignore Obamacare laws or EPA wetlands regulations.

I don't understand it either. AZ was smacked down when they merely mirrored federal immigration law.

But let a state restrict abortion and then some federal judge will pull a ruling out of his ass.

“Why does CA get to ignore federal immigration laws? Texas should ignore Obamacare laws or EPA wetlands regulations.”

What I’m not understanding here is that illegal aliens, much like pollution, can cross state lines. Illegal aliens crossing the border in California can easily threaten me and my family 2000 miles away, because they can and do come here. what happens in California affects people in the other 49 states.

There is legal precedence for this thinking all the way through the Supreme Court.

Some state with a government that works to protect its citizens needs to sue California in a Federal court, in much the same way that East Coast states sued Midwestern states over acid rain.
