The place where the changes will likely come is in the primaries. Just because you are the candidate today doesn't mean that you will be tomorrow.

But it still comes down to Rep, or Dem.

Then what?

Another place is in the state government. Many of the problems have come from the fact that some cities (Seattle for one) have passed ordnances forbidding their police to even inquire if someone arrested is illegal, much less report it to the INS.

Are you going to be able to run people who are actually committed to changing this?

You go with the one you agree with the most. I find it amusing when some people declare that they will vote LP. The LP platform is actually worse then the Dem when it comes to the border.

Able yes. Will we? Some. Others we can just press a bit. And on a state level it is much easier to put pressure on them. My State Rep for example lives only about eight blocks from me. Getting in to see him is as easy as going to his office and knocking on the door. He, BTW, knows me by name. :)

Georgia will be an interesting test case to see if the states stepping up to the plate will make a difference. I am betting it will.
