Yeah, we're at the point where anything "Unconstitutional" is up for interpretation because nothing is enforced. The current administration can't even be consistent when it comes to States'rights and federal oversight. Living in WA myself I hope they follow suit.

I'm sure it'll be selectively enforced. Texas setting their own immigration policy will still be allowed, but they'll come down hard on California for negotiating its own trade.

they'll come down hard

What are they going to do at this point? Nobody's enforcing anything.

They're not enforcing anything because, to this point, the breaking of established rule and law has been a one way street. Only one side has been egregiously breaking the rules, and the ones in charge of enforcement are on that side. But you will see them (at least attempt) to crack down on the other side doing the same exact thing. Make no mistake, this isn't just an anarchic free-for-all, this is a fascist coup.
