I might also add, that a Governor with any brains at all would relize who the largest drains on the state coffers are as well. Reduce the illegal populace that taps the state coffers and you would find a 10% savings in the budget, at the very minimum. Could you use $10 billion dollars plus right now Mr. Davis? Ahem...

But who outside of Hollywierd would vote for him then?

Rather than offend one his - panic, a good Democrat would punish 100 others with higher taxes and more government controls.

I watched a "B" movie last night called "The Second Civil War" (1997). It was about an Idaho governor who closed the state borders to further immigration, which led to a stand off with the the White House. It was sorta of a farce at times and made just about everyone involved look at little goofy, but the ending was very serious and prophetic.

It was fairly even-handed and showed many of the things we've talked about regarding the invasion of immigrants v. our compassion for the World's poor. There was a scene where the Hispanic LA Mayor was shot at by blacks who were angry about losing jobs to the hordes of Mexicans crossing the border. The on scene reporter was scrambling around to find someone who spoke English - even the cops didn't.

A number of other states joined the stand off and sent their National Guard. In one scene, some fed Army troops refused to fire on their fellow Americans and started shooting the officers. The mutinous soldiers lost the skirmish and were summarily executed. The whole movie is from the perspective of a CNN like newsroom and that firing squad scene was broadcast to a stunned America.

Very disturbing movie, but really on target regarding much of the immigration and balkanization issues.
