Groups push for immigration focus in elections


Maryland is "We the People" telling congress how it is.

Quote:
"We want our elected officials to understand," said moderator Sandra Pruitt, leader of watchdog group People for Change. "A lot of them haven't come out to hear from residents on this issue ... the huge impact it's had."
You can always contact your representatives as well.

Quote:
"They cross our borders and create a tidal wave on our system," Faulkner said. "These women come here pregnant or shortly after they come here, they get pregnant. They know if a child is born here, they are U.S. citizens and are entitled to benefits."
Again, the flaw of our 14TH Amendment-this will change.


Quote:
Using national estimates from the Federation of American Immigration Reform, Botwin said Prince George's County spends about $209 million annually on illegal immigrants based on its population of 800,000 people. "There's your budget deficit. Poof. Gone. If you got rid of illegal immigration," Botwin said.
Our Nation cries this daily, time to listen.

Quote:
Several attendees accused organizers and residents who spoke at the forum of racism.
"This is more like a Klan rally," said College Park resident Karyn Pomerantz, who was booed by the crowd and had her microphone cut off while she was addressing the panel. "I'd respect people like you a lot more if you'd follow [the illegal immigrants] back to their countries," Alexander replied.
I did not nor have ever read or seen anything resembling racism in the sensible arguments regarding anti-illegal aliens. People are so tired of this tattered race card. It just does not hold water, never did.

The sanctuary state of Maryland is finally awake. Even the most liberal Marylanders are demanding action. When VA enacted strict anti-illegal legislation, illegals fled to MD in droves. Now, citizens have had enough.

Thumbs up for Maryland. Now the illegals can flee somewhere else.

Back to Mexico (including Guatemalans and other New World Hispanics)?

This could get interesting as MD, as was pointed out earlier, is a de facto sanctuary state with some towns having declared that they are officially (Takoma Park, anyone?).

Just like in the old Civil Rights Movement days when the Feds got involved in overruling communities where Jim Crow still held sway. Read that they are fixin' to drop the hammer on places that protect illegal aliens from American law enforcement.

Sanctuary Cities=sundown towns if discussing analogies.
