You could be right, but sometimes when voters will not let an issue drop, and vote accordingly, something does get done. I should have also included our new Governor, along with our new President, as necessary leaders in the battle against illegal immigration. How does a soft stance on illegals get votes...well (I would think) legal Central and South American immigrants vote to help relatives and fellow countrymen. All politicians strive to lock up block votes, like the Latino block vote, to throw them over the top to office.
