I don't mind discussing the illegal immigration question.I think we must..but as I just said,as long as the local,states,don't allow their law enforcement to help,we can't control the borders,solve the problem with blue cards,etc.There are conflicting agendas,state and federal.We just throw up our hands and do nothing.

In my view, it's too late for discussion. I remember years ago when CA governors were pleading for Federal help on the border. Democrat senator Alan Cranston dismissed it as did the East Coast senators and the majority of others.

"It's a CA problem --- we don't have problems in our states." Texas, Arizona, and California have been living with illegal immigration for years. Now we're overwhelmed and it's too late.

Left to me, I'd seal both borders with the military. There is no "wonderful" solution.

Luckily,one of my state Senators is working on this.
