I don't see how one party can be blamed for this.

So far, it seems the Feds have relegated the problems associated with their lack of border security - immigration policy to the states to deal with. As far as I know - so far - only Arizona has done anything serious to attempt to solve the problem. Probably 33% plus of the students in my classes are illegal, or were "anchor babies". Many are now leaving with their parents - in reaction to Arizona's "employer sanctions" law - though most are NOT returning to Mexico, but going to a more "friendly" state, such as North Carolina.
