The New York Times ran a big profile on University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor (and Kansas Secretary of State candidate) Kris Kobach's state-by-state, city-by-city approach to fighting illegal immigration. But barnstorming the cities and states is leaving a patchwork of laws that opponents say, if he's successful, would "cover the country in a patchwork of local immigration rules that are contrary to the federal law and costly to defend." But for his supporters, Kobach is becoming their "leading legal advocate."
"The driving principle is to restore the rule of law," he said. "You have members of Congress throwing up their hands and saying, the system is broken. I really think that's a cop-out. Different parts of the system are working fine. The question is, how do you actually enforce the law in a vast nation that has very different circumstances in different states?"The cost of such policies isn't cheap: The mayor of one town estimated it cost his town -- population 6,500 -- about $270,000 in legal fees.

Try living in Dallas/Fort Worth - it's starting to look like Mexico plus gangs, graffiti, drugs, shootouts & trash everywhere. And, w/ millions of Texans out of jobs, illegals are allowed to work, get benefits, buy homes, etc - it's BS.
When did it become unAmerican to be American? To stand up for our rights & have a say in where our tax dollars go? To have a job over a non-legal immigrants - including visa holders.
Would anyone be comfortable w/ a stranger jumping their fence into their backyard? Why is it different for them to come into the country illegally? They WILL be in your neighborhood soon w/ all their tax-supported anchor babies. Time to speak up. Less schools, less crime, less pollution, less taxes. Look after YOUR children's future before they've sucked it dry.
"The driving principle is to restore the rule of law," he said.
Well, I guess that's appropriate per the "You broke it; you fix it" doctrine.
Nice to know hatred and bigotry are still alive in KC. 10% of CA population is illegal?? Typical example of outrageous lies these people put out. When will these people realize America is not a white Christian nation?
Since the Federal government won't enforce the laws leaving states to pick up the costs then it is right and proper for states to fill the enforcement void.

Way to Go Kris!
And if a town thinks legal fees to fight crime (illegal immigration, id theft, document fraud, tax evasion, driving without a license, gangs, Mexican Drug Cartel) are expensive, check out the cost of illegal aliens to the taxpayer.
It is estimated that over 10% of California's population is illegal. They are being subsidized to the tune of over 10 billion per year by the California taxpayer- that represents more than 20% of CA's budget deficit.
Illegal immigration is NOT a victimless crime.
No one in America should be above the law.
