    How would allowing states to set their own immigration penalties affect consistency for immigrants and employers operating across multiple states?

  2. 02

    What enforcement costs would fall on state and local governments, and who would fund these new immigration compliance programs?

  3. 03

    Does the evidence suggest state-level immigration enforcement reduces unauthorized immigration, or does it primarily create additional penalties for existing violations?
