The Constitution says the Federal government is supposed to secure the borders, but since they're not, they should have to reimburse the states.
I still haven't figured out why the states haven't collectively sued the feds for 'breach of contract'.
THEN maybe they would close the d@mn borders and stop the invasion of all the 'armies of one'!
Please don't scare me! I made what I thought was a sure bet, "that ASU wouldn't even make it into the Final-4 again."
Because they would be hypocrites. Unfortunately must of out southern border states are packed with politicians falling over themselves to out pander to illegal aliens. California is the best example but AZ and NM are not far behind. Many of their state policies encourage illegal immigration.
This is just a money grab from the feds. If they really wanted to demonstrate their disproval they would start deporting the aliens themselves. There is no law that prevents them from releasing illegal aliens At the border. But that will never happen.
I would prefer it were coming from a better source. Napolitano is talking out both sides of her mouth. She kisses up to President Fox of Mexico, says she would support illegal driver's licenses, supports groups that help illegals, and tries to block any attempt Arizona citizens make to discourage illegals. Then she turns around and says the federal government needs to pay for the problem?
