Sorry if you don’t like it but going by the constitution immigration enforcement is 100% executive branch. You can have constitutional or you can have whatever this is, not both.

Which clause is that? I know the legislature is to set a uniform naturalization process, but as to immigration it seems silent (unless you are going to tie it into to the obscenely vast scope of the commerce clause). And, even if you can do that, then there is that pesky 10th Amendment, which in Fry v. USA, it was stated that "The 10th Amendment expressly declares the constitutional policy that Congress may not exercise power in a fashion that impairs the States’ integrity or their ability to function effectively in a federal system.” Also there is Article IV, section 4, where a guarantee by the government to protect the states from invasion is stipulated. Now, if the Fed isn't going to protect the state as required, you can't punish the state for doing what the situation demands.

It is also my understanding the cutting the wire by CBP was being allowed while the case makes it through lower courts. I am certain that we haven't heard the last about the matter.

I’m going to be honest with you I was relying mostly on things I’ve heard over the years. Investigating further it comes from section 1, article 8, clause 18 (necessary and proper clause and numerous SC rulings.

Longstanding Supreme Court precedent recognizes Congress as having “plenary” power over immigration, giving it almost complete authority to decide whether foreign nationals ( “aliens,” under governing statutes and case law) may enter or remain in the United States.1But while Congress's power over immigration is well established, defining its constitutional underpinnings is more difficult. The Constitution does not mention immigration, but parts of the Constitution address related subjects. The Supreme Court has sometimes relied upon Congress's powers over naturalization (the term and conditions in which an alien becomes a U.S. citizen)

Enforcement of the federal border, but what about the state border? States do have some control over their own borders, that's why California Border Protection can stop you and do an agricultural inspection.

I wonder if the Island Navy can get a Letter of Marque from Governor Abbott?

Of the 970 people killed by police last year, how many do you think were being arrested for Tax evasion/fraud? I'm not against the sentiment, but it's not like the Feds are doing no-knock raids on the daily on people who failed to file taxes.
