I actually think it would be better off as a state issue because people up where I am don't see things the same way those who live relatively close to the border do.

Yes, however who should provide the pressure to Washington for adequate Agents and equipment to deal with the Illegals? What states feel the biggest impact by Illegal Immigrants? Also who has control over the National Guard? I feel Border protection is just as much a State problem as it is a National problem. The director of ICE could give a rat f*ck about AZ alone. He has 2 borders, 3 oceans, and thousands of port of entries to worry about. Also the State sets how Aggressive or not the Border Patrol can be (respectfully) I won't go into what the Border Patrol CAN'T do for OPSEC reasons but lets just say you would be very surprised and disapointed.
