Of course it's a nill point if the State does nothing...

I hear you. We can wish all we want, but...
The feds will never agree to turn over the borders to the states and they will never give up any federal powers.
This is where leadership is so, so important. We don't have it...we haven't it since I don't know when. I can see what is happening and what I believe will happen.
I'm not a political leader, I'm just a citizen. I see our unemployment of Americans rising, our employment of illegals rising, and our government employment burden growing. This is not right.
Again, the states can make all the noise they want, but the feds HAVE NOT and WILL NOT enforce the immigration laws of the land and they WILL NOT allow the states to do so.
People illegally here generate several problems. There's NOT a good answer to this and when there are no good clear cut answers, people think of poor solutions.
Amnesty, while it may seem to be an answer, actually creates more problems...example: amnesty for 1.2 million is helping to create amnesty for 12 million....is there a reason to pretend to secure our borders at this point? Suddenly declaring an alien to be a citizen DOES NOT cause taxes to be generated.
We are destined to have the South American leftist style of government.
