There is no reason that the states can't agree to have some immigration controls at the federal level, but that shouldn't supercede the rights of the states themselves to create any laws that they choose above and beyond that.

We need a federal code of laws in order for interstate commerse to operate. We cannot just do away with federal law and let the states have it all.

I agree that about 80% of federal law could be eliminated and turned over to the states. But there has to be some overarching federal statutes or we are not a country but rather 50 seperate countries.
