I'm a big believer of states rights, however I think the constitution clearly puts immigration law within the fed's purview. Anyone versed in this area that can clarify for me?

Last I checked a State can't grant a person the power to break Federal law. Now, depending on whether the "Employee Information" included was covered under said law.... However, to the best of my knowledge, all employees MUST fill out a I9, which asks whether the person is a Citizen, Noncitizen- Resident, Lawful Permanent Resident, or Alien authorized to work (expiration date).

Capt Gregory Prickett 1stSgt Nelson Kerr Like most headlines, especially from InfoWars, I'm assuming hyperbole. This is likely a non-issue.
However, it should be moot anyways. Employers in the US already have a legal obligation not to hire those not "legally allowed to work in the US" and to "maintain records" showing compliance. California may have chosen to take an non-enforcement stance to that policy, but the Federal government is well within their power to enforce both the taxation and immigration portions of this.
That said, that's what warrants are for. But... Anyone can voluntarily give up Rights.. so the idea of CA prosecuting employers who cooperated with LEO is asinine.

the CA law does not affect the federal duities. Itjust requires that those records be carefully protected and not divulged without a warrent. there is zero conflict with federal law.

I agree with you that immigration is a federal issue not a state one. I am not sure how a state can legally prosecute someone for complying federal law.

Capt Gregory Prickett - what about from the article "The law prevents workers of any immigration status from being detained at workplaces."

It depends on the situation whether or not they need one but no not at all unlawful to demand a warrant.
