It is one of the big, hairy unknowns _ what you do about that federal-state relationship. I'm not sure it's allocated in the smartest way today and whether the controls are right, but I'm not sure I can improve on it.

The biggest one out there is the federal one. I wouldn't glean anything from what negotiations with the state attorney general could mean relative to settlement with the DOJ (Department of Justice).

Look in a mirror and one thing's sure; what we see is not who we are.

That one hurts. It's all about getting everyone you can to the state meet. That was a big one to lose.

There are a lot of unknowns.

It involves greater surveillance. It involves improving the working relationship among federal and state and local agencies. It involves more border control and border opportunities to deal with those involved in crossing our borders,
