Yeah.....we’ll see if Cain “supporting Amnesty” gets the sidebar treatment.
The states that border on Mexico, with the exception of California, pretty much know that they need to close the border, don’t they? If the states divided into enforcement states and sanctuary states the sanctuary states would eventually be so run-down by debt and crime that even they would have to come to their senses, wouldn’t they? The only way they wouldn’t is if the feds bailed out those states...
When you look at what happened with Alabama, just the prospect of Alabama actually checking legal status resulted in a lot of illegals leaving, with tax-paying American citizens regaining those jobs. So Alabama gets a net economic gain from that because they don’t have to pay for services for illegals and they get more people paying taxes rather than getting unemployment benefits.
But the neighboring states to which the illegals fled would probably then have higher unemployment, more unemployment benefits, etc - unless they also enacted measures to keep themselves from being attractive to illegals. Eventually, in theory at least, the illegals would settle in one area which would be broke, crime-ridden, and nobody stable and productive would want to live there.
