Yes, immigration is an issue that must be addressed. Both the Republicans and Democrats have acknowledged this. Bills have been offered in the past. Pres. Bush and Pres. Obama have both wanted immigration reform, and guess what? Congress has not acted. No president can act alone in passing immigration reform. If governors want action, put pressure on Congress to pass legislation, to fund programs already on the books. Individual states writing federal law is not the answer.

If the Republicans are truly committed to "protecting our borders," then let's see them put their money where their mouths are. Money talks, bull**** walks. It seems all the GOP cares about is preventing Pres. Obama from getting anything done in order to strengthen the GOP position in the midterms and in 2012. Is this any way to run our country? I don't think so.
