Immigration law consists of rules and procedures to be enforced by the federal government. That is no longer happening.Immigration law? I have no idea but it's definitely a possible violation of the Constitution depending on what they are doing. The Constitution clearly makes immigration solely a Federal Issue.
Ergo, what we have now is not immigration, but a criminal exercise. If the feds won't enforce the law to the detriment of the states, then it falls to the states to deal with the resulting situation.
Just because the Fed isn't doing what you want that does nothing to negate the Constitution.
Why do you keep bringing up the Constitution?/ The Federal government gave immigration powers to the Federal government, not the Constitution:
"The word “immigration” does not appear in the U.S. Constitution or any of its Amendments. Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 does read, “… To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, …”."
"The 14th Amendment, Section 1 addresses the protection of “All persons born or naturalized in the United States,…” which extended citizenship through the States to the former slaves. The rules of immigration were reserved to the
States through the 10th Amendment until the first Federal law was enacted in 1875. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the following year that immigration regulation was an exclusive Federal responsibility. Congress established the Immigration Service in 1891, which was the first time the Federal government took an active role. Congress enacted additional quota systems after World War I in the years 1921 and 1924."

Why? Multiple court rulings and the fact that Sheriff Arpaio was arrested and found guilty because he thought he could enforce immigration laws.
You are using the same argument that those who argue that the 2nd doesn't necessarily mean the people but rather only militia's.
You won't be able to show where state officials are actually doing anything.
Again - it's NOT a Constitutional power given to the Federal government. The Federal government enacted a law to assume that power.

Chapter 2: The source and scope of the federal power to regulate immigration and naturalization
From your own link:
Throughout the history of the United States the Supreme Court has upheld all manner of federal statutes regulating immigration. By contrast, Supreme Court decisions preclude states from passing legislation that directly impinges on this area of federal dominion. The Supreme Court’s basis for action is clear when the area regulated is naturalization. Article 1, § 8, clause 4, of the United States Constitution specifically grants Congress the power to establish a "uniform Rule of Naturalization." By expressly allocating this power to Congress, the Constitution prevents the confusion that would result if individual states could bestow citizenship. The Constitution does not, however, explicitly provide that the power to deny admission or remove non-citizens rests with the federal government as opposed to state governments. Hence, in the early immigration cases the Supreme Court faced the problem of identifying the source of the federal government's exclusive and plenary power over immigration. Later cases found the plenary power to be an inherent sovereign power.

And yet it does.
No it doesn't. Federal law gives the Federal government that power and those laws have been ruled to be Constitutional. The Constitution however does not enumerate those powers.
Maybe you should find a different link that agrees with you?
Too fking funny.

Article 1, § 8, clause 4, of the United States Constitution
That speaks to naturalization not immigration.
Too fking funny.
If you say so. Just like the 2nd only speaks about militia's right?
