    Only the federal government can determine whether or not the immigration is illegal.

    For example, seeking asylum is legal immigration and there is no requirement for an asylum seeker to cross at an official port of entry.

    Only the federal government has the right to evaluate asylum applications, so by trying to bypass the federal government, this law is effectively an attempt by the state government to deny people the right to seek asylum.
