STATE ARE FIGHTING ILLEGAL ALIENS PROBLEMS DUE TO OBAMA'S LACK OF INTENT TO FOLLOW U.S. CONSTITUTION

KRIS KOBACH: IMMIGRATION NOT JUST A FEDERAL MATTER 

Reuters’ Terry Baynes recently interviewed Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach about the issue of state versus federal authority in immigration matters given the battle in the U.S. Supreme Court next week, when the court will hear arguments for and against new Arizona laws against illegal immigration.


As Kobach points out in the interview, the federal government has primary authority over immigration but “the Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that states have spheres of activity where they can operate to discourage illegal immigration. It’s an area of shared authority.” Kobach then went on to explain that the Obama administration’s argument that federal immigration law is “not designed to ferret out every person unlawfully present in the United States” is false and that the law as written by Congress is very clear and uncompromising. Kobach says, “It calls for enforcement across the board” and that the Obama administration is choosing not to enforce the laws with which it disagrees.
