I have been giving a lot of thought as to what should be our next step in battling this illegal immigration issue. These are my thoughts and everyone is welcome to weigh in. We keep hearing reports that some are going to try to submit 1348 again in a few weeks. Personally, I don't think they will, but we should be ready just in case. However, I think we should get the jump on them first by letting them know ahead of time where we stand, and it may just change their minds. I think a lot of the hate mail Feinstein was referring to was from the other side, so I think it's important to keep our letters to a certain degree of courtesy, yet remaining firm. It's always beneficial to let the opposition look like fools.

In the meantime, we can keep an eye on the House to see what direction this thing will take there.

Next I thought it might be helpful to let them know what we think the solutions to this problem should be so they can't accuse the American people of complaining without offering a better way to fix this.

Anyway, it's just something to think about over the week-end, and please jump in with suggestions. We are all in this together.
