That's correct. There is nothing that says the state can't enforce e-verify.

Obviously, the most notorious example of a state legislating the enforcement of Federal laws is Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070. While I'm impartial towards the Arizona law, I think that the real problem is the Federal immigration law. I don't think that it should be difficult for people to immigrate to the United States.

Employing illegal parasites, has been illegal for as long as our nation has controlled our immigration.
That is not what the decision says.

There is no need to quote you when they are already posted here.. If you dont know what you said, then I have to wonder how you are going to take part in a discussion responding to what you said..

When you claim you don't have any good example of state law that has no conflict with federal law, Arizona's law wouldn't be that, and as such can be ruled out.

Better?
Because the US Chambers of Commerce sued the state of Arizona?

When one entity sues another, it usually ends up in court?

What exactly are you arguing?
