The idea "The Rule of Law" is in jeopardy is NOT an issue. Every one of the Undocumented are submitted to the same domestic laws as all other citizens.
The idea the Undocumented are stealing jobs is nonsense. The current unemployment rate is exceptionally low, HOWEVER, as of last month, it ticked up. As the Undocumented are forced out of their homes there will be an economic impact. There have been millions of the Undocumented deported in recent years, including those years under President Obama.
The states may examine the potential of protecting the Undocumented, including those that know no other life. I would strongly suggest the Dreamers find a path with employers and/or universities and/or their professional peers. Don't wait for the government to solve the problem. There is the idea a Class Action lawsuit can be filed against the US Government based in the cultural reality of the Dreamers.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s 4-4 split decision on June 23, 2016,(click here) effectively blocked President Obama’s executive actions on immigration that expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and created Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA).
Then, on June 16, 2017, the Trump administration completely eliminated the DAPA program. DHS Secretary John Kelly signed a memorandum that rescinds Deferred Action for Parents of Americans. If it could have been implemented, DAPA could have helped an estimated 3.7 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. obtain temporary employment authorization and protection from deportation.
There’s still reason for undocumented immigrants to remain optimistic. Immigration advocates and organizations are pushing hard for legislative change that will provide relief to undocumented immigrants already in the United States and positively contributing to the U.S. economy.
