actually no.

they shifted the problem from two US states to three other US states. Texas, New Mexico and California. And to a much smaller extent, one Mexican state, Sonora.

Look around and see where those people went. They went where the jobs are, and they aren't in Mexico. They're here.

The Sonorans are complaining because people can't get into the US as easily as they did before, and on that point I have no problems, but the issue is with states applying laws differently when the problem is the same.

All that has been done is to shift the problem from one US state to the other.

Thanks for that.
