The solution is SO SIMPLE!
REPLACE THE ENTIRE CONGRESS WITH A NEW ONE WHO WILL LISTEN TO THE VOTERS.
I like your solution, B4. I just don't know how to get there.
The few conservatives left here in Mexifornia aren't enough to unseat the liberal Senator Boxer and her cronies. As more and more Mexicans arrive here, the votes go more and more towards the open borders Democrats/entitlements-for-illegal aliens bunch.
Some Republicans are included in the above group...the payoffs must be worth the selling of one's soul.
The only way I can see that having a chance of happening is not voting for any politicians who are pro-illegal immigration, which may mean not voting for Republicans...
Bring me the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West!
Our military should be protecting our borders. A far greater danger exists from open borders than Iraq. The WMD were a blatant lie, Saddam has been removed, elections have been held, we have killed lots of Iraqis and destroyed much of the country -- and our troop are still dying there.
BTW, I just phoned the Fairfax County, Virginia school hotline about school closings. To my surprise (maybe it shouldn't be) I was told to choose the language I wanted the information.
