States in fact can and now will start enforcing Federal laws, since the federal government won't enforce them.
Sets a big precedence!
States are equal in power to the fed as of now!
Perhaps instead of reading headlines and then proclaim some non-existent relationship between the states and the Federal government you should take time to read the facts before the Court and the Court's decision in that case.

As if these people ever bother to read the actual opinion, let alone understand it. It's enough for them to be told what it means by some right-wing "pundit."
BTW, I agree with the decision and the policy. I've felt all along that the best way to address illegal immigration is to crack down on employers. Hard.
Interesting. Really, I don't think that there's anything in the Constitution preventing States from passing an identical law to the Federal law and enforcing it. I think that this decision merely says that state executive branches can enforce federal laws and that it's unnecessary for the state legislatures to write an identical state law.
A more interesting question might be: Why does the executive branch of the federal government fail to enforce the laws passed by Congress? Isn't that their job?
