Imigration Laws

[smithjcsdfw]

Do you think the individual states should be able to pass and enforce imigration laws?   I grew up in El Paso in the 70's and to tell you the truth imigration laws were a joke.  Now with all the drug gangs along the border it's not a joke anymore.

Force them, we should not have to pay for everyone. I pay taxes. Don't get me wrong, I love all people who are paying the same taxes, not people getting a free ride.

Our federal government should have the lead with inividual states making their own adjustments.

I think letting states set there own standards could get messy. Perhaps if national laws served as a base and state laws could be anything over and above that. Yeah, I actually think that'd be a great idea!

No, I think we need reform at a national level.  States don't have the authority to tell someone they are or not or cannot be a citizen of the country - that's something for the national level.  Unfortunately, no politician seems willing to initiate a discussion on this.
