I am dismayed that so many Americans think that to fight illegal immigration and terror we must promote:

1. A massive increase in government power.
2. An undermining of federalism.
3. An undermining of the 4th amendment
4. An increased ability to track Americans in real-time
5. An erosion of the presumption of innocence
6. A radically increased ability to enforce arbitrary (future)rules,

and

7. Federal approval on whether you and I can earn money or not.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for stemming the tide of illegal immigration. But I don't want to throw our freedoms into the dump to do it.

Good for Tennessee.
