I believe we have tried to do that very thing. With work visas, the Maquiladora plants, the recent rulings to let the Mexican trucking industry run on out highways, not much seems to make a difference. Nothing wil until Mexico gets a firm grip on corruption, and figure out that sending Mexicans to America is not an industry that makes Mexico any better. Check these stats: Estimated Population January 1, 2001 City of El Paso, Texas 563,662 Ciudad Juarez, Mexico* 1,217,818 Projected Population to 2010 City of El Paso, Texas 737,400 Ciudad Juarez, Mexico* 1,614,120 Projected Population to 2020 City of El Paso, Texas 854,255 Ciudad Juarez, Mexico* 2,458,789 Expecting Juarez to double in the next 20 years. A big part of them will be "coming to America"

And in fact, in Alabama the chief told me the INS people told them not to call, unless they release 15 that they’d apprehended; they might be able to send somebody. I’ve checked the situation in Alabama — with almost five million people — has one INS officer for the entire state. Now, that may be an aberration, other states may have some more, but when you see the numbers there, there are very few INS officers – the INS officers that are out there, there’s no way they can do the job. The only way we can enforce immigration laws in America, if we desire to do so, is to engage and employ and utilize our state and local law officers. That’s so basic as to be without dispute, it seems to me. Now, the attorney general and the President and Secretary Ridge and others have emphasized in the war on terror we have got to employ and coordinate with and utilize the tremendous resources of state and local law enforcement. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. cis.org
