I was given this question in class today:
There are often conflicts between the levels of government. For ex: The issue of education. What is another example of an issue that has become a problem because of differing ideas/laws from the state to the federal level?
And here's what I've got for an answer: (What do you think?)
The first thing that comes to mind on conflicting ideas/laws is the serious issue of illegal immigration - to be more specific, providing illegal aliens with worker ID's and Driver's Licenses. A Minnesota state senator and NY Governor, Eliot Spitzer, stated that they were in favor of providing worker ID cards to illegal immigrants. Providing them with valid identification, allowing them to board planes!
Here's where I'm going with this - There is no federal law that prohibits it! The vast majority of states are strongly opposing this, but as you know, Federal Law trumps state law.
Does it even pertain to the question? Please help!
Thanks.
