The Bush administration has reversed federal interpretation of immigration laws and now says that state and local police can enforce immigration laws.
The CBP will even train your local police to enforce immigration law.
Instead of bitching about Bush why don't y'all do something constructive and demand that your local mayors and police chiefs bust your own local employers of illegals?
Uh, because an invasion of foreign nationals is a Federal issue, and because the President has Executive power that includes Federal law enforcement.
