Everything is political.

Being "apolitical" is just an implicit endorsement of the status quo.

I can't believe this is such an unpopular opinion. I don't think HN is a place for me anymore.

> Federal law trumps state law.

Constitution trumps Federal law.

Tenth Amendment:

> The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Feds are welcome to enforce immigration law. They cannot require California to participate. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt10-4-2/AL...

This is absolutely not true in general, and the constitution explicitly circumscribes the jurisdiction of federal law.

It's also a very divisive and sensitive topic.

I think we've been playing "everyone gets along" for far too long, and it's become obvious to the meek that people are gaming the system whilst pretending to get along. A correction is necessary, and that's precisely what you're witnessing here.

The "no talking politics" crowd are just enforcers of the current power structure.
