The rallying cry has been that immigration is a federal problem and the state shouldn't -- and legally can't -- try and wade into the solutions.
But the costs and tempers keep rising while we wait for answers. So Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, apparently wants to help the federal government do their duty.
She introduced a bill that would allow sheriff's who are holding (and holding and holding) illegal immigrants in their jails to go ahead and hand-deliver them to federal officials. Yes, they could be dropped off at the offices of any U.S. representative and senator.
Just think of the replies from those representatives and senators: "Thanks. I took at the office."
