Our city once thought providing a center was a solution, and now the problem is much worse. It's only seen as approval and acceptance of their illegal presence in this country.
Yeah, but, what needs to happen simply isn't going to happen. This administration has punted on illegal immigration. Sad, but true. And short of electing Pat Buchanan, there's no one in the pipeline who would do anything other than what is being done now. So the states are left in the position of doing what they can to deal with the problems created along the border.
At that point, illegal immigration becomes a social service issue more so than a criminal matter. The feds have the jurisdiction to deal with immigration as a criminal matter, but have decided to abdicate this responsibility for reasons of political expediency.
Illegal immigration is the ultimate unfunded mandate.
Some days, I wonder why there are state governments at all. The feds seem to think they know best for everyone, and the Constitution is but a mere inconvenience.
