Setting Immigration policy  though is a power the  constitution strictly delegated to the federal goverment. So cities and states can't take this issue into their own hands .

The 10th amendment says : any power not delegated to the fedreal goverment by the constitution or not prohibited by the constitution can be used by the states or the people .

Immigration policy though is a power delegated to the fedreal government which means the states cannot take the issue in their own hands.

     This is what I was thinking about; this issue is something that cities actually don't get to decide on. If liberals enjoy having a powerful federal government (a sentiment I have often heard voiced), stuff like this is a natural consequence of that.
