Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., has filed a bill that would give states a greater ability to enforce immigration laws when the federal government fails to do so.


Posey and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced his bill, the Immigration and Enforcement Partnership Act of 2022, after the Biden administration decided to terminate Title 42, a federal public health rule used during national public health emergencies.

Moody has sued the administration several times for violating immigration law.

Excellent!!!  Now, if we can just get other states to follow the same.

A Fishrrman strictly rhetorical question:
Wouldn't the Tenth Amendment come into play here by default?
That default being... when the federal government declines to enforce the laws and protect the states against invasion, do the states then have the authority to do that for themselves...?

It would be interesting to see if the courts would rule for this, and the Feds to somehow argue that states don't have the right to enforce Federal law.
