I need everyone's help. As a supporter of state's rights, I'm curious where each of you think your state stands on illegal aliens and the federal governments failure to do their job ... can y'all help me out with this? I'm trying to get the 'heartbeat of America'

thanks a bunch,

Alabama Governor Bob Riley stated "Never has deterring illegal immigration and stopping illegal immigration been more vital to our nation's security"

"Alabamians can be proud that our state was one of the first to step up and meet this challenge. Although border security is a federal responsibility, Alabama recognized it has an obligation to protect its citizens. That's why shortly after I became Governor, we reached an innovative and cooperative agreement with our federal Homeland Security Department that allows our state troopers to strengthen our nation's border security and interior enforcement. We made Alabama a national leader in this area."
