Ted, I hear lots of local and state officials using the "federal issue" copout, even though the illegal immigration issue affects the state, and even though these officials are supposed to enforce the entire law of the land, not just state and local laws. Its not a copout. There are certain issues that are the purview of the states and there are others that are the purview of the feds. Immigration is one on the federal level because it effects individual states as well as the country as whole. Too many in our government are just too scared to enforce the current immigration laws. I suspect in some cases its because they tried in the past and were not backed up by the feds. I heard that complaint by the police. They picked up illegals and the INS was no where to be seen to take them off their hands. American jails are crowded enough.
