It's not something left up to the States.<br />Not happy with the performance of the feds? Neither are most Americans on any issue, but then after 30 years of Republican power, it's no surprise the federal government can't do anything. According to Republicans the federal governmant is not supposed to do anything, and they have worked hard to make that goal a reality.TOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464117691722213136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-7730350517966520082010-07-29T13:27:18.584-04:002010-07-29T13:27:18.584-04:00>it is a step in the right direction

We need many more like her.<br /><br />Perhaps I should have included this suggestion... Bring the troops home from Iran and Afghanistan and station them along our southern borders with the standing orders to shoot anyone attempting to cross other than at authorized checkpoints.<br /><br />It's a huge problem, one that business encouraged to gain access to cheap labor and the government turned a blind eye to knowing it could manipulate the issue for political gain.<br /><br />A truly sad commentary on business and government.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-87205113481337258602010-07-29T12:54:04.102-04:002010-07-29T12:54:04.102-04:00Essentially, the federal government is saying &quo...Essentially, the federal government is saying "Don't try to do our job that we have no intention of doing in the first place."<br /><br />To be honest, even at full force, I don't think the SB1070 would have a significant direct effect on illegal entry through our southern border. The indirect effect has already been seen, with thousands of illegal aliens leaving in fear. To truly secure the border, we have to have an effective fence and a solid military presence along the border. In addition, we have to treat those who intentionally enter illegally as enemy combatants, and deal with them as harshly as possible. There really is no other effective deterrent.<br /><br />Of course, both major parties and a lot of businesses that benefit from cheap labor but are immune to the horrific damage created by illegal aliens have combined in a partnership with the Mexican government to prevent any real action from being taken.<br /><br />At a certain point, we'll just stop caring what the law is and begin to defend ourselves using whatever means necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
