Are these legislators and some people in Colorado really this ignorant???  Federal law always trumps state law (No pun intended).....

 

" The bill would give her and hundreds of thousands of people like her permanent legal status in Colorado. "...........This is absolutely false.  It will NOT give them legal status in any way....

I seem to remember a past administration taking a state to court when they proposed actually enforcing immigration law along the lines of the federal statutes.  I believe the Feds won that suit.

I am pretty sure we fought a war over states asserting rights that were not theirs one time

A – The word “immigration” does not appear in the U.S. Constitution or any of its Amendments. Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 does read, “… To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, …”. The 14th Amendment, Section 1 addresses the protection of “All persons born or naturalized in the United States,…” which extended citizenship through the States to the former slaves. The rules of immigration were reserved to the States through the 10th Amendment until the first Federal law was enacted in 1875. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the following year that immigration regulation was an exclusive Federal responsibility. Congress established the Immigration Service in 1891, which was the first time the Federal government took an active role. Congress enacted additional quota systems after World War I in the years 1921 and 1924. The laws remained largely unchanged until the passage of the “The Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965.” Changes to admittance were made again in 1976 and 1978. “The Immigration Act of 1990″ added a category of admission based on diversity and increased the worldwide immigration ceiling.
