Among all the things that states spend their money on this is the most worthwhile, so I won’t worry too much about it. The cost to take Zer0bama to court is probably, what, about the same as free healthcare for a few families of illegals for a year, or one Section 8 baby-mama’s free housing?
Good luck to the states, and to this young lady.
Thank you for your service Mrs. Jenerette!!!
Ahhhh....the illegals question:

Poverty in Mexico:
“Since the mid-1990s, poverty in Mexico has been defined under three categories.
Food poverty is the inability to afford a basic minimum diet. Thirty-seven percent of Mexicans were in this category in 1996, and 14 percent 10 years later.
Capacity poverty means that families or persons find it difficult to afford education and health expenses. Nearly 47 percent of the population was in this category in 1996, and around 21 percent in 2006.
Cash poverty includes those who have insufficient resources to pay for clothing, housing, energy and transportation, who made up 69 percent of the population in 1996 and 42 percent a decade later.
By the World Bank’s method of measurement, based on a daily income calculated in dollars, overall poverty in Mexico fell from 45 percent in 1994 to 41 percent in 2000, and to 32 percent in 2006.”

We, as a country, are done.
We, as separate states and individuals, had better be making “back-up” plans.
