Immigration/naturalization issues are something that, per my ConLaw class as well, are committed almost exclusively to the authority of Congress (and the Executive to the extent Congress delegates its powers), with just about the smallest conceivable role for the states (since the states have virtually no power to restrict movement across their borders).

In that spirit let me say that I could be talking out of my hat, and am eagerly awaiting input from one of our hosts or one of the other ConLaw profs/practitioners I've floated this argument with.

If I wer an unstart Senator and ConLaw Professor, I would insert an amendment re-establishing the inability of FISA-warrants to be used as evidence against a suspect.
