The truth of the matter is, this is an open question constitutionally. We saw a number of years back when the state of Arizona passed legislation trying to limit illegal immigration. And During the Obama administration, the Department of Justice sued Arizona. It went all the way to the Supreme Court. There was a case, Arizona versus United States, and unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Obama administration. It was a decision that got strong dissents, got a strong dissent from Justice Scalia, a strong dissent from Justice Thomas, a strong dissent from Justice Alito. (18:02–18:17)
