The majority of the problems re illegal aliens are on the state and local levels;yet most people on FR rush to blame President Bush for everything.
I'm the first to say Bush is commendable in that he split the INS. One half attempting to get illegals here, the other processing deportation hearings -crazy! It is true that problems are at the state and local levels. It is there that the majority of the public and private organizations encourage and perpetuate it. As for the Fed level, porous borders is a national security concern.
