Dave:

I agree.

After seeing that the USG was tipping off the Mex government as to the locations of the Minutemen and their patrols, clearly the onus is on the state and local governments to deal with this problem.

The Feds want nothing to do with it, despite the fact that protection of the nation's borders are one of the few Constitutionally mandated requirements of the Federal government.

I am ashamed of my government for their massive failure to address this problem in a timely manner. Seal the border as best we can, heavily penalize employers who hire illegals, and start sending illegals back as fast as they pop up. Anything we can do to make the economy of Mexico better and reduce the problems that drive the illegals here would be a good thing as well. Simple solutions, cowardly officials.
