Handled on a State-by-State basis? Consider my Governor, Mike Huckabee, and how he used our Constitution..

"If we send a message that essentially if you don't look like us, talk like us and speak like us we don't want you, it has tremendous economic repercussions," Huckabee said.

On Illegal Children he says "They do get free public education for their children, but that's required under the Arkansas Constitution, Huckabee said. "And frankly I think we would want to make sure that their kids were getting an education because an educated society is a society that can work and do a job and do a better job and make money," Huckabee said.

As for allowing immigrants to receive free prenatal care, Huckabee said that's part of his pro-life sentiment as well as that of Amendment 65 of the state constitution, which says that Arkansas considers life to begin at conception.

"I believe that because it's a human life, then by our law and by our constitution even that unborn child is an Arkansas citizen because he or she is going to be born in this state,"Huckabee said. "The prenatal care for the entire pregnancy costs less than one-third of what one day in the neonatal unit at Children's Hospital would cost if the child has complications at birth."

He encouraged them to settle here..

If Arkansas (not exactly a shining example of prudence in selecting its Governor) welcomes illegals, why don't you move to Texas? Or Oklahoma? Or better yet, Mississippi?

There are quite a few States in that region that are politically more realistic than Arkansas, aren't there? :)
