"This is just one example of many problems that people blame on Bush instead of their local politicians who should have solved it."
Well, nice try.
Is GWB the leader of our country or not?
Does he have the balls to set the tone so the sock-puppets in the Republican Party will follow his lead?
(No, obviously).
Does GWB have a moral obligation to give these gutless wonders (Republican congress critters and Republican Senators) a boot in the ass every now and again?
Yes, he does.
So we see where you are coming from.
Connecticut is such a tiny little state you should personally know your state officials. Why don't you complain to them about illegal aliens in Connecticut. Your state and local police have authority to bust employers of illegal aliens. CBP will train them free of charge if you want.
If they balk, try organizing other members of your trade to put pressure on them to enforce the immigration laws at least in your county in your trade.
Your state is so minuscule you could walk door to door with petitions.
Wouldn't that be more productive than whining on FR about Bush?
If you and your state and local governments don't care to solve your own problems, you shouldn't bitch about others not solving them for you.
