She just took a tour of the U.S. Mexican border. "The problem is enormous. We in the federal government have failed the American people."


In the last 5 yrs, we have not generated jobs.
In cities where you are seeing high illegal immigration, there is a battle between the African American minority and illegals for the jobs there are.


The same DUers attacked me on this issue with a great deal of self righteousness. I feel it is ignorance not to look at the situation.
Some areas of this country have become overloaded with illegal immigrants who have over taxed the citizens of those counties.
