This is your post below, I just changed the name of the state.
>>If the illegals in Illinois crossed the Mexican border in Texas without Texas doing anything to stop them, then yes, Texas state put Illinois in this position.<<
What do you believe should happen to Texas for allowing this to happen to Chicago Illinois? Should the state of Illinois sue the state of Texas for damages, crime, smuggled in drugs, social services, fraud etc?
I don’t understand what you are trying to defend or where you are trying to go with this line?
At no point did I indicate that anyone was or should be seeking punative damages from the border states who have allowed their own borders to go unprotected while Washington fumbled around.
It is a very simple statement. The states could have and should have taken at a minimum, the same actions taken by the MinuteMen project. They should have beefed up their own border security and their is no law or constitutional right that would have stopped tham from doing so.
Instead of taxing legal citizens of the state to pay for education, medical care and food stamps for illegals, they should have deported them every time they found someone in their state illegally.
You know who many of them are, as you point out, they are sitting in your classrooms. Why? It is state laws that allow them to be there...
California and other border states have unique circumstances by virtue of being border states. We have a bottom up form of self-government in this country, not a top down dictatorship where the fed mandates state laws and enforcement.
I have made and repeated the statement that Califoria policies are in great part responsible for California problems. I don’t see how anyone could look at years of policies and come to any other conclusion.
So what’s you real point here? What are you driving at?
