Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Border states do not have exclusive authority and jurisdiction to administer United States immigration law. Federal immigration law is administered by the federal government through agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). States may have some involvement in the enforcement of immigration law, but they do not have exclusive authority in this area.
