Opponents of the Fremont and Escondido plans say the cities’ attempts are unconstitutional. And, they’re probably right. Cities and states can’t enact laws governing immigration. That’s the job of the federal government.

Okaaaay. Then why does the local police department respond to a Bank Robbery? "That’s the job of the federal government." (FBI)

Annnnd if a Local Cop does catch run accross a Bank Robber by happenstance shouldn't he let him go - just as if he was an Illegal? After all, its the job of the federal government.

What do these laws and statutes have to do with actual immigration? They might have some effect on illegals, but they’re not immigration laws.

Not sure about this, but I think I am correct.

I'd really like to know where this is written in the US Constitution, shoot, where it is even codified in Federal law.
