You can't blame the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (President of the US, for those who aren't American) for the leftist policies of individual states. How bad does it have to get before the citizens of California rise up and put a stop to it?
The states have tried. California passed prop 187, but their republican governor wouldn't fight in court for it. Certain people, like Grover Norquist and Ceasar Conda worked tirelessly to defeat prop 187, Norquist is the point man for the Bush white house on immigration. Conda worked for Dick Cheney and now is involved with Soros.
ARIZONA REPUBLIC (Op-Ed): A conservative manifesto for solving border woes
Aug. 15, 2004
"How, exactly, would we as a nation seal our borders, and how would we man our economy if we did? Who would labor in the fields to get our crops out of the ground? Who would take the low-paying jobs in our hotels and hospitals? Few native-born Americans now raise their children to do work like that: We aspire to better–and we're lucky that we can. And even if we could stomach the kinds of draconian measures some suggest on the border, that would only drive more of the migrant flow underground, with more of the consequences Arizonans know so well: the disruptive transients, the soaring service costs and the deadly violence associated with human smuggling. In other words, the so-called solutions of those who oppose realistic reform would only entrench the status quo. Conservatives, both in the White House and Congress, have a better answer. Arizona Reps. Jeff Flake and Jim Kolbe and Sen. John McCain led the way last summer with a groundbreaking legislative proposal; then, in January, Bush outlined a set of principles that picked up on several of their best ideas. The centerpiece of both packages: a guest worker program combined with a transitional provision for those already here and working–a measure that would allow them to come in out of the shadows and earn the right to a legal job.
