The states could close down their borders with Mexico and Canada if they wanted to, the protection of the state border is in the hands of the states.

They absolutely could not. You work for the INS and are really this stupid?

Read post #1243. They absolutely could.

The States have authority over the Ports of Entry. They could walk into my office to day and shut us down.

That's not to say the s**t would not hit the fan, but we would comply and let Washington deal with it.
