#1 "No one individual state should be allowed to disrupt federal immigration policy."

Left unstated - "Only a few select individuals are so empowered."

#2 This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with a president refusing to perform one on his primary responsibilities: defend our borders.

#3 SCOTUS no longer recognizes the sovereign status of American citizenship, why expect any defense of sovereign borders?

#4 If SCOTUS doesn't recognize the legal standing of states when their schools, hospitals and social services are being overwhelmed by illegal aliens then we really do live in a dictatorship.

#5 I suspect they Court will find the States do not have jurisdiction to address immigration. The question will be do they then have no standing to contest Federal immigration law enforcement - or lack thereof. In fact does anyone have standing to contest it? The best outcome the states are likely to get is a 4-4 split, returning the status to that of the various lower courts.

#6 It's not even an immigration fight. It's all about selective enforcement of law. The law as applied to illegal aliens. People who entered the U.S. illegally, whether for good intent or evil.

#7 Well the oligarchy in DC benefits from illegals, so I expect the SC to at best be deadlocked in this and at worst confirming their power over the states and the people by telling them to shut up and color or lose federal funds and possible jail time.
