<p>sally, what state do you live in? I find people think it is more of a crisis if they live in Southern California or Texas, ot other SW states were there are a lot of illegals driving uninsured cars, sitting in ERs with whooping cough, registering their kids for schools. When I lived in Southern Cal, there was a problem with people coming in by boat. They’d land (or come close) to the beaches and then try to run to freedom. Many couldn’t swim, it was dangerous for them, it was dangerous for people walking on the beaches. Those coming in didn’t even know where they were and several boats landed at Camp Pendleton - the marines will shoot them! Several boats got caught in the rip tides near Santa Barbara and needed Coast Guard rescue.</p>
<p>People who live in upstate NY or Kansas don’t see the problem quite the same way as those who are there and trying to help, but the problem is just too big.</p>
