We must work to have a good relationship with the government (encourage a more democratic govt. as Fox is almost singlehandedly trying to do) and build from there. Be firm but use stick and carrot.
I'd rather use 10,000 American soldiers along the border and tell Fox to go to hell, and then send all the illegals packing. They are his responsibility not the American taxpayers.
But alas, we are soon to become the great American Union of States, and my opinion doesn't mean jack crap.
