It looks like many state legislators are fed up with the FED on illegal immigration. State legislators in 25 states have formed a coalition to challenge Washington.
State Legislators for Legal Immigration is a nation-wide coalition founded by Pennsylvania State Representative Daryl D. Metcalfe (R-Butler) to provide a network of state legislators who are committed to working together in demanding full cooperation among our federal, state and local governments in eliminating all economic attractions and incentives (including, but not limited to: public benefits, welfare, education and employment opportunities) for illegal aliens, as well as securing our borders against unlawful invasion.

Great post Tom.
I hate to say it but if the country gets any headway at all on the illegals it will be done one small town at a time by locals not the feds. They are just not up to it.

Unfortunately, if this bill passes, all of the illegals will be granted legal status undermining the efforts of the states. And the states are bearing the biggest burden of this influx.
