Slowly at first, but now gathering momentum. I've been saying for some time now that the tipping point would be a state governor getting on board. Now we have Matt Blunt of Missouri taking up the standard. That's including the state legislature of Oklahoma in everything but name. Percolating up from below, rather than from the top down, just like welfare reform in the nineties; illegal immigration "reform" is picking up steam.
The beauty of it is the more illegals are driven out of some states the more pressure they put on their neighbors and the more popular clamor there to do likewise.
And ever more pressure on the congressional representatives of same (regardless of party).

I hope a lot of other states jump on this bandwagon. I know my state will be one of the last, (sigh). But they won’t be able to resist if all the neighbors are doing it.

You're starting to see this around the country. They're trying to scare people and they're saying 'We don't want you here,'" said William Sanchez, lead attorney for the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, which has filed suit to stop a new Oklahoma law that became effective Thursday.No, we want you here. We really, really want you here.In fact, we're going to open up all the border crossing points and allow unlimited, unfettered access to our country. And, after you get here, you can get a free education, free medical care, Hell--we'll throw in a new car and a first-round draft choice!

Better late than never obviously, but without a stricter border enforcement where they are breaking the law by crossing, it may be more of too little too late. Spitzer isn’t helping, so I appreciate good news like this story.
To: sinanju
As I’ve said before, a border fence is only of limited use, unless governors, mayors, police, and other authorities ENFORCE THE LAWS.
We also need a president who will enforce the law, and a congress that will withhold funds from any jurisdictions that refuse to enforce the law. Employers should be prosecuted, and welfare should be refused. Healthcare shouldl only be provided in genuine emergencies. Public schools should be reserved for citizens who pay the taxes that run them.
At the moment, the US is like a giant honey magnet drawing in illegals. That will only cease when it is no longer attractive to them.

If I was in charge of some interstate agency looking for illegal aliens I would pay a lot more attention those unmarked tour buses I see an awful lot of.

Did anyone notice that the issue of illegal immigration did not even come up this morning on Meet the Press with Fred Thompson. Do you think Russert was given orders to stay off the subject due to his harshness of Clinton. It is up to the States to control their own territories.
It is up to the Federal Government to control the exterior borders in the North and South. Thompson will close these borders and find out who the hell is in our country.

And another beauty is it will move them more into “sanctuary cities” where the sheeple there will eventually morph into the anti-illegal crowd.
Sooner or later, it’s bound to happen. The “tolerant ones” amongst us will get their fill.
To: sinanju; Liz
...unfairly harassing and intimidating both illegal and legal immigrants.By stopping and deporting the illegals? They've had a nice, free ride up until now. All depends on the definition of 'harass' I guess...

now we need help here in california. Too long have we take the brunt of illegal immigration, while other states sit and sneer. while all 50 states have become all border states now, it is time finally to do something.

The campaign has drawn the ire of religious organizations, civil rights groups and some employers, who argue the actions are unfairly harassing and intimidating both illegal and legal immigrants.Poor little bunch of libs have had their way to long.

This is fantastic. Hopefully, we can eventually push them all into sanctuary cities (barf), and they can have alllllll they want.
Course, I am in Kansas. I doubt my idiot demonrat governor will follow suit.
