I'm no immigration lawyer, but it seems to me that the federal case revolves around the fact that individual states are not the ones to be deciding who or who is not a citizen or who is or is not entitled to be here. US citizenship status is not an issue for states to decide. Where is the legitimate argument against that position?
There isn't one. That's why this will be an open-and-shut case. States have no constitutional authority to regulate immigration. Only the federal government does. No one ever has an answer for that one.
