Border
The bills should be federal and all states should be able to enforce the law. Arizona is the model for what all states should be in enforcing the laws against the illegal flood.
Drugs, 13 year old prostitution, whats next coming from across the border?
Instead of doing something, let's make more laws to not enforce.

To me it's common sense to allow the police to enforce all laws, including immigration, that's what we pay them for. What's strange is that years ago they did so with no problem, now many legislators act like it's a new idea they have to debate first.
"Some say the state has no responsibility to address this issue."
Why are they being selecting in which federal laws can be enforced? Perhaps the State and Locals should stop cooperating with the feds altogether. If a state or local LEA can't enforce immigration law then perhaps they can't enforce federal drug laws or kidnappings, or credit card thefts, or federal gun laws or ....
There are many more illegal immigrant Mexican guys than women. They aren't going to go without sex forever. Thus the boom in sex trafficking, 99% of the time an immigrant (legal or illegal) is the pimp. Recent legal immigrants are so often the employers of illegals and facilitate their existence here. They guide them on how to remain in the United States
I heard one tale of pimps bringing their whores around to migrant labor camps in a triked out motor home. Bring the whores to the customers. The men lined up for their 15 minutes with the woman.
Well, that sums it up in a nutshell.
One of the most stunning revelations has come from testimony before the House Commerce and Military Affairs Committee by garrison commander Col. Jonathan Hunter of Fort Huachuca, home of the U.S. Army intelligence school. Hunter related that more 3,600 illegal immigrants were found within the post's perimeter last year. Coyotes lead them there.
Ay caramba!!!!!!!!!!!! If this isn't a serious national security breach... what is??
You've got to wonder about the "family values" of a people who allow their 13 year old daughters to go off alone and illegally to a foreign country. But then when you see the large numbers of kids abandoned to the streets in countries like Mexico -- you already know about the family values of very many.
This will only change when priorities are changed. Money, manpower and resources are plentiful and available but it will have to be diverted from less worthy but politically expedient areas and existing budgets increased. Perhaps some of the billion$ currently being doled out on totally unnecessary and useless state and local PORK BARREL welfare styled voter buying projects should be diverted to better secure and control our borders.
Like I said, priorities.
Fun huh? Here, let me answer for you" "If only we would adopt the president's program, why, all of these terrible things would end".
It is to laugh.
All they want to do is frighten people by creating an imaginary crises that they claim is solely President Bush's fault.
As soon as some towns start running all the illegals out by busting their employers, the Buchanan/Tancredo Bush-haters will have lost their primary reason for sending them money and attacking Bush.
