There's something in the U.S. Constitution called the Supremacy Clause.
States and local jurisdictions are subordinate to federal law. Period.
I stopped reading your post at this. The Supremacy Clause establishes the supremacy of Federal Law over State Law,where there is a conflict.
You don't seem to understand that. You need to understand the ramifications of that, and you don't. And here is the overview which I agree with.

No, states are not legally required to enforce federal immigration laws, as the Constitution grants the federal government the primary authority for immigration enforcement. While state and local police are not obligated to enforce immigration laws, they can choose to cooperate with federal authorities through specific agreements, such as the federal government's 287(g) program. Some states and cities have passed laws that limit this cooperation, leading to conflicts with federal policy.
No federal obligation: State and local police are not required to enforce federal immigration laws.
Optional cooperation: Federal law allows for agreements where state and local officials are trained and authorized to perform specific
immigration functions under federal supervision, like the 287(g) program.
State discretion: States can choose whether or not to enter into these cooperative agreements.
"Sanctuary" policies: Some states and cities have passed laws that restrict or prohibit their local law enforcement from assisting with federal immigration enforcement, which can create legal challenges.
So basically you are lecturing me on something you don't seem to understand, and I do have a good basic understanding of it, or at least did at one point. :)
