Oh. Well, I certainly like that idea. As I've posted recently, if we had ten or twenty states with laws as tough as Alabama's, we wouldn't have such a problem. At least not until they all crammed into California, the last place Wisdom is found; at that point they'd pull a Palestine on us and we'd have to get physical.
States are better equipped to deal with the illegals, especially the border states. But ultimately, the fed govt must have their back, so to speak.
Far as I can tell, none of the GOP candidates has said he's against the states taking their own measures against illegals.
