Given the blatant disregard for the law exhibited by the federal government on the issue, states have often taken it upon themselves to enforce immigration laws within their own jurisdictions.
From the report:
Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that has called for tougher border security, predicted it is "very unlikely" that Obama's proposal to cut the program will be accepted by Congress. He noted that the Bush administration repeatedly tried to zero out the program, but always ran into opposition in Congress.
"It's hard to justify getting rid of it honestly," Krikorian said. "It's a necessary program because the federal government is reimbursing states and localities for the federal government's own mistakes."
The discontinuation of funding for the program is going to be a hard-sell in Congress due to the fact that Congressional liberals want to add provisions within the funding that provide for healthcare and education to illegals.

Stolen, and linked back to you Anthony!
I'm truly wondering just how far the obamanites will go to destroy the United States.
Patrick,
Did you see Pam Geller's report in the Roundup about the detaining of a man who did nothing but display a 'Don't Tread on Me' bumper-sticker?
This gang of thugs has declared war on the citizens...no doubt about it.
