Gotta say, saw this coming for a while now. The federal government has been dragging its heels for years now on addressing illegal immigration, and now we have states taking matters into their own hands, realizing what they can do independently to address it and taking rash moves.
Both Democrats AND Republicans have dropped the ball on addressing illegal aliens. Republicans want the cheap labor for their business buddies, and Democrats want the votes. Now, the situation is out of hand – with states taking these rash and drastic measures to address illegal aliens.
The U.S. economic implosion was the final straw. Legal immigrants and citizens are hurting in the Great Depression II, and there is no mood in the country for looking the other way on aliens that broke the law to get here.
Now it’s too late. States are finding their power and acting. This all could have been avoided had the Republicans and Democrats acted to address illegal aliens in a firm and considered manner years ago. Now we have this mess.
