Isnt the best way to enforce illegal immigration is by giving enforcement power to the states???
Answer:
That is a very good question . I believe that the Fed. Gov doesn't want the borders closed , because of the agreement that Bush made with Mexico and Canada .
Welcome to NSCO - International Mid - Continent Trade Corridor .
This Highway goes from Mexico through the Midwest and into Canada and should be complete in 2010 , unless The American People start asking Congress about it and put a stop to it .
This was all planed by Corporations and China , in order to bring goods faster tn to North America , without being checked by anyone . Even Homeland Security .
yes, and no. enforcement depends on the state at hand and the bordering cities. for example, I can't remember the state, but basically this state had passed a state law echoing that of the federal law, but the constituents of said state is "outraged," not really (the majority of Americans wants something to be done). my point is, it depends if the state is willing to enforce those laws, and if the individual counties and cities also enforce those set regulations. there are a lot of "sanctuary cities" out there where law enforcement are bound NOT to do their job...
No because immigration is not limited to those entering the country illegally. If states had autonomy over the feds in immigration practices then it would be perfectly legal for one state to bar residents of another state from entering. While a long stretch, it does bring into the foray the states rights versus the national good. Or, states could bar certain nationalities. While on the surface it appears a great idea, it is a slippery slope given how our eccentricities as Americans cause us to elect questionable state leaders aka George Wallace.
When it comes down to it the reform must be at a federal level,states do have the rights to make their own laws but if those laws are different from the federal laws it is allmost assuredly going to be contested in federal court rendering the state law useless more times than not
The conflict isn't between states and federal government. The issue all along has been about N.A.F.T.A. and the new Superstate that is now a reality. Here's the overview. The big picture starts with N.A.F.T.A., which is good and bad, but has some serious problems, specifically the sudden and unexpected concentration of wealth, especially in Mexico and the U.S. There are concerted efforts to correct that and other problems associated with N.A.F.T.A.. But, Republican / Conservatives, specifically following Bush, are deliberately reducing the middle class in all three nations in order to have cheaper labor. The unemployment rate in Mexico has already risen over 20%. And, our U.S. communities have been deliberately weakened by Republican / Conservatives by reducing social services and collapsing the fabric of many communities, again, in order to have a "needy" middle class and compliant workers willing to work for nothing. Now, the social collapse in many communities that is secondary to state and federal Republican / Conservative tolerance, related to allowing U.S. business owners to criminally invite and hire undocumented workers in order to avoid paying U.S. workers a legal and decent wage, is coming home to roost. As racists bickered about the burden of having to educate little children whose parents were illegally hired to work in this nation, and as they complained about having to hear Spanish, and as they allowed their communities to decline into social instability and increasingly poorly educated, impoverished populations due to gross and inhumane mismanagement by Republican / Conservatives, the new Superstate between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada was officially signed by President Bush. Borders are going away. We are now one Superstate. N.A.F.T.A., as you know, is an economic alliance between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Without Congressional over-site, Bush this winter signed into law a political extension of that agreement in which the three nations are now the new North American "Superstate" called SPP. All borders are to be "streamlined" and eventually eliminated, major new toll highways are already planned to connect all three nations (including the big one eight football fields wide right up through the center of the new Superstate that the King of Spain will hold the lease and profits from), a common currency (eventually, not at first) and common citizenship. Mexico gets a big chunck of Kansas to use as a staging area for its highway construction and maintenence contracts. This is all fact. The realities of globalization will not go away. The forces behind this new Superstate and the contracts already in effect will not allow any interference. Way too much money is already in play here. Any moronic racist trying to start war on American soil will be crushed. Any state that attempts to interfere with the "streamlining" of borders and trade between the three nations will become economic wastelands patrolled by U.S. Army tanks. The U.S. middle class must stop listening to their local mealy-mouthed Republican / Conservatives who promote racism, violence, hate, intolerance and backward isolationistic notions. Or, their communities will fail. It takes wiser problem-solving to deal with these enormous changes in our social system and to realistically address our problems than hauling people out into the desert and murdering them. Those states and communities who cling to racism and Conservative feeble-minded backward notions will collapse. They ARE collapsing, and not due to Mexicans. The problems are due to Republican / Conservative plunder of the middle class everywhere and their paradigm that a community belongs only to them and that they can do what they want with people, including sabatoging community planning that could have saved many communities from collapse. That's plain wicked and stupid. Here is the new government's official website:

Corporations at work, I say its time to cut their funding. US.
I think "Same-day service, with a SMILE" is the best way to handle illegal immigration. If people are residing in our country illegally, send em home. Do that enough times, and everybody will get the idea that immigration law is something to be respected, after all. I suggest, if you feel strongly enough about it, then by all means write to your state representatives about it, so that they're aware that there are concerned citizens out there willing to take a position on the issue. If about, say, 100 million or so people spoke out against illegal immigration, then we might see more done about it.
Do you expect California to enforce illegal immigration???.. These people will be competing "who will bring more of them here, and give them more benefits" in order to show to themselves and others, "How progressive an humane they are".
Heh, May be southern states can enforce, but i dont know.
Yes, if the state law concerns national interest the feds should stop catering to all the special interest groups who want to challenge for the sole reason of playing games. ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out
I'd say yes, except that I live in California. Do you really want the US border states to have that sort of power over the doors?
the best way is to give power to the state as well as the feds to enforce the laws already on the books, then to go after corporations that are shown to be in violation time and again of these laws and put them out of business if necessary. the next step is not to use taxpayer money on illegal services, you meet them at the hospitals and such and know they are illegal then you deport that day not the next year, if found to be illegal forget getting a deportation lawyer just deport, allow the jails to be cleared of illegals and send them all home for their governments to deal with and then last but not least make sure once you enforce these laws and then they come back you just put them straight away into prison and make no effort to set them free ever, or perhaps my favorite one is to install areas around the borders that once caught here illegally you are implanted with a chip then sent home and if you try to come back across the border then after say a thousand yards or so this chip sends out a signal to installed areas and you are electrocuted on the spot
States already have enforcement power. States can enact and enforce any law that is not contrary to Federal Law.
In the case of illegal immigration, the "that is a federal law. or that is the fed's job" is just a convenient excuse for look the other way policies.
