I am going to digress a little bit into history, because while off-topic, I do think it provides some relevant insight.

fftopic: As you may know the nation of Italy durring the 1930's and 1940's experienced a facsist takeover of the government. The man who engineered this movement was of course Benito Mussellini, know as the Duce. The Duce became sort of a cult personality, this is comman in Ultra-nationalist movements, Germany had Adolf Hitler, Spain had Francisco Franco, Japan had Prime Minister Tojo, China had Generalisimo Chang Kai-Chek, North Korea had Kim Il-Sung, Iraq had Sadam Husain, et cetera.
What was unique about the Duce's regime was the totality of power concentrated in one man. The Duce did not or could not delegate. All leadership was the Duce. If the Duce was either unable or unwilling to assert power in an area, there was a vaccume of leadership in that area.
:wacko: I bring this up because I feel that our nation is headed in a slightly similar direction. The Federal Government, not anyone in particular, is becoming the Duce so to speak. The federal government clearly is unable or unwilling to assert control over the imigration issue, so there is a vaccume, or at least as far as the federal government is concerned.
The Sheriff in question is thankfully bucking the trend. We cannot look to the Duce as the answer to all of our problems.
:hang3: I am sorry if I lost anyone in that explination. Please feel free to ask me to elaborate on any points if you feel it would help.
