He talked about illegals at the district convention last month. He was adament that something be done. Of course, I don't recall him mentioning this particular act as his, but he's not a ego driven politician, at least as not as much as most.
Maybe I'll give him a call later and thank him. I'm sure he loves hearing from me, lol.
It has been a while since I have read it but as I recall it empowers state and local law enforcement to enforce immigration law and it compels the Federal government to take custody of or pay the cost of detaining any illegals they arrest. It seems like a pretty good deal.
