Did you mean your local officials?

In the Federal model of US government, state authority overrides centralized government except in the explicit cases enumerated by the Constitution.

So yes, of course they mean their local officials, because in this case there isn’t an explicit line in the Constitution explaining why the feds are allowed to invade Minnesota.

  • yep. It's not in the constitution, but in all practicality mcculloch vs maryland (which i would love to see repealed) disagrees

  • The Supreme Court has disagreed with you on the matter of federal immigration constitutional authority for more than a century. There isn’t any “invasion”; that’s a propaganda device.

    • And yet they didn’t brag about invading other states bordering, let’s see, Canada, just the blue one they had a political spat with.
