States take action on immigration issue
quote.......
This year's moves range from sending border troops to cutting aid

•Training 70 state troopers with the power to arrest illegal immigrants.

•Required U.S. citizenship or legal immigrant status to receive health benefits. Illegal immigrants can receive emergency care only.

•Sent troops to assist with vehicle inspections along Arizona's border with Mexico.

•Approved ballot initiatives to be decided by voters in November:

Making English the official language of Arizona.

Prohibiting undocumented immigrants from receiving state services such as adult education, child care and in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities.

Prohibiting undocumented immigrants from receiving punitive damages in civil lawsuits.

Requiring judges to deny bail to undocumented immigrants arrested for serious offenses.

end quote........

1. Are the Feds really building that wall? Why is there no national debat
with We the People on anything. So we're using troops on the borders. Wonder where they'll be used next. Troops on border - Halliburton building detention centers - big wall across the border. Considering how much money illegal immigration saves corps, I just can't get the feeling out of my mind that all this is for the real enemies of our gov't - We the People.

3. Employer Prosecution
All of these measures would help some.

Employer prosecution, like the measures by Hazelton, PA, and Idaho Canyon County would be more effective. Hazelton wants to revoke the business licenses of companies that employ illegal immigrants. Idaho Canyon County is filing racketeering charges against Corporate agricultural companies that hire illegals. Below is a link to the Yahoo News story on this.
