Yes states rights is very important, but should an illegal alien with a New Mexico license board a plane then commit a terrorist act, Americans from many other states die. Irresponsible state legislators and governors are jeopardizing all of us, which is why it's a national issue.
This would all be moot if the federal government would close the borders and enforce the laws, but until they do, if ever I don't think we should be making life easier for illegal aliens.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 should be repealed.
Why would you want that law repealed? It contains employer sanctions which was supposed to discourage businesses from hiring illegals. If anything, I'd like to see it enforced, which is currently not happening.
