Which one do you think has priority: the economy and the war or illegal immigration. The immigration issue is racially and politically motivated. Or else why aren't we talking about the number of European and Canadian illegals in the North. The Minuteman folks are only concerned about the US-Mexico border. Not the Canadian border, not areas like NYC/Boston etc. where the illegal Europeans fly into etc. The illegal population in the North, come in legally by lying to Federal officials and overstay. Isn't that a crime also? At least the Mexicans do not lie to get in. They come here because some US citizen has a job waiting for them.

"Why wouldnt the Fed do their job?"

Ah, but the Feds are doing their job. A better question is "How come Bush got away with doing nothing, but Obama gets blamed for actually doing something?"

Maybe they are upset cuz the state hasn't been this safe in about 40 years. Making Driving while Mexican a crime will certainly get those rates heading in the right direction again.

However, if you want to pick a "No Man's Land" like a mile on our side of the border, and use drones to blast anything with 2 legs that moves, that's good with me. So is using ground penetrating radar,and then pumping tunnels full of cyanide. A mile is a pretty good spot cuz it means we won't be accidentally shooting people on the wrong side of the border.
Gotta keep those things in mind.
