I wouldn't have him live in some state where he couldn't even see a doctor if he got sick.

OP--congratulations. Go get them--as many as you can get. What can the rest of us do? Those who do not live near a border and can't get physically involved? I will be writing to my Senators and Congressmen but are there any organized groups?
You can Fax your Congress and Senators or the White House when ever the action is necessary
and be notified when;

I vote and write my congressional delegate on a regular basis.

Me too, on a regular basis, and i email them, and i talk to those in power in my State, but they send you some crappy email back ,with their signature, doubt they even read their emails. If there is something more that we can do, i too would like to know exactly what.

This is such a great thread, the kind i like to see on here. For those of you who are thinking of ways to make this issue better, GOOD FOR YOU, we need to see and here more like those of you, who wish to make a difference. I appalud you, for what you wish to do, and from me it is appreciated. Maybe perhaps this is what we need to make the diffenence, showing Those in D.C. that we do give a damn. And we care about our Borders!

I agree but don't get discouraged. Let them know your are out there and you are serious. People have so many things going on in their lives, they tend to have short attention spans.....keep faxing and calling your representatives.

And, NumbersUSA is the best.
