North Carolina US Representative Heath Shuler (D) has drafted legislation to address the problem of illegal immigrants in the United States. HR 4088 has the support of over 190 congressional representatives which moves it close to being considered for enactment. The legislation is well written and comprehensive, and puts on a federal level many of the components passed on the state level in GA, OK, AZ, and CO. Currently the economic slowdown and mortgage foreclosure crisis are starting to slow the numbers of illegals within US borders, but a sensible and far-reaching federal legislative act is desperately needed to ensure a consistent strict national policy is in place to deal with this problem. One has to wonder if Congress will have the political will to address this festering and longterm issue and follow the wishes of the vast majority of American citizens. It is likely not too, leaving the states individually to create effective policy. This will result in some states becoming islands of illegals with broad inconsistencies and diverse consequences for Americans and the illegals themselves.#
