State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe is from Butler County has introduced legislation to crack down on illegal immigrants within the state.

Metcalfe is his measure is similar to the law passed in Arizona that allows law enforcement officers to question people about their immigration status.

The proposal gives immigrants two options. They can leave immediately or face arrest.

That’s just one bill. There are others. Thankfully, PA doesn’t have a huge illegal alien population, and they have chosen to be proactive to prevent their state from being overrun like so many others.

Pennsylvanians who knowingly hire illegal immigrants would lose their professional licenses under a bill that passed out of a state House committee on a party-line vote Tuesday.

The Republican-majority State Government Committee approved the Professional Licensees Illegal Employment Act, which would cover anyone licensed by the Bureau of Occupational and Professional Affairs. Its penalties would apply to first-offense violations.

Oh no Erik you really don't understand. They follow you... when you go in a store they sit outside. When you walk down the block they follow along.

They know your nature Erik...and when it takes hold and you do the awful thing they will be there. But in the meantime...they just watch you Erik...and watch you...and watch you...

You may be pleased...You have your own bodyguard.

I could not get that. But I don't look Hispanic...

How is it political grandstanding? They see what illegals have done to other states. Why on earth would they want the same? I applaud their efforts, especially since I pay property taxes in PA. I certainly don’t want illegals ruining the nice neighborhood of my childhood by living 20 to a single-family dwelling.

Edit: For inquiring minds, I guess I should clarify something. I was born in PA, and I am the co-owner with my mom of my childhood home there. That's why I pay property taxes in PA. Okay? LOL!
