"Illegal immigration is a federal responsibility - why should the taxpayers of the impacted states be required to shoulder the bills?"

It's very simple. Those very-few states choice of both high welfare benefits and even welfare for aliens not funded by Washington entices illegals to them!

Kalifornia and Texas are both border states - each having long borders with Mexico. Whey do you think half the total aliens in the U.S. are in Kalifornia - rather than Texas?
