Illegal immigration remains one of the top political issues for many Americans. Prompting many to wonder about the balance of power between the state and the federal government.
It won’t stop under a D admin. The entire purpose is to alter apportionment by moving rural & suburban red seats and electoral college votes to metro blue by packing in thousands of illegals into nominally blue areas, increasing blue seats to accommodate the population, these blue seats being removed from non- metro red.
Arizona tried this when Brewer was Gov. Obama sued her. Arizona lost. I expect the same outcome here, unfortunately.
The idea of a “balance of power” between states and feds is problematic. Under the Constitution, the states are superior, period. Not balanced. But governors and legislatures are peopled by those who want to get to DC, so they allow endless usurpation of their rights, endless violations of 9A & 10A.
Examples: no enumerated power gives the federal government - which includes federal courts - any authority to legislate or EO or even to take judicial cases on:
- Marriage
- Bathrooms
- Sports
- Abortion
- Pronouns
- Etc.
Feds will reply “supremacy clause.” This clause only is applicable to the powers delegated to the federal government. Otherwise the Feds could pass any law in any field at any time - not a “government of limited powers.”
What else is not authorized - delegated - to the (inferior) Feds by the (superior) states?
- General police powers. Neither FBI nor ATF have a constitutional foundation; they usurp state authority and violate 10A
- Foreign Aid. Nothing in the Constitution authorizes the redistribution of American tax receipts to foreign nations or supranational bodies.
- AUMF. The Constitution is clear on going to war: a formal Declaration is required. A rose by any other name is still a war... if you call a dog’s tail a “leg,” it still has only four legs...
And while these legal battles rage on, the influx of illegal immigrants continues.
