I made a response to 278 but it hasn’t shown up yet (I’m new here). I hope it didn’t get lost. I spent about 15 minutes responding to each of Charles’s points but the main point I made is that a state can do a lot to take care of the illegal problem without deportation. Punishing employers in the state that hire illegal immigrants with fines that get exponentially larger will take care of the problem. You’ll see a voluntary deportation to other states like you’re seeing out of Arizona.
The new president?
