========================================

States have pushed their way to the forefront of immigration-related lawmaking in recent years, citing the absence of federal legislative reform, and the tenor of their efforts is expected to intensify this year.

The number of such bills in 2011 probably won’t increase over past years’, but immigration experts said the proposals will be more confrontational in nature. The measures include a campaign to remove automatic citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants, efforts to replicate a controversial Arizona law and creation of state guest-worker programs.

The most divisive bills, if they become law, would likely provoke lawsuits or other action from Congress, the White House or the U.S. Supreme Court.

“They are reflecting Congress’ inability to moveâ€

It is time to let illegal aliens know that we do not want them here. As a sovereign nation, the United States, must enforce its immigration laws and deport illegal aliens. We must not grant amnesty to illegal aliens every ten years, when illegals want. Stop once and for all illegal immigration. Illegal aliens think they can enter our country when they want and do whatever they want. NO. We are sick and tired of this illegal alien situation. We must not allow this to continue. If the Democrats do not want to enforce our immigration laws, we will elect politicians who will do so. By the way, let's vote all the Democrats out because they are not helping Americans. They help illegal aliens. And that we do not tolerate.

So many states trying to do the right thing. With state legislator's trying to
do the right thing.
Yet as usual our Federal government panders to illegal aliens.
And because of the threat of "Lawsuits"? Disgusting what this is.
States demand enforcement.
Washington wants amnesty. Rotten Scoundrels.
We still are paying the bill for these lawsuits filed against us.
INSANITY!
Damn people we have some business to attend too!
