It is amazing how self-entitled illegal aliens feel to overrun the laws of this country. It is treason for those politicians and judges who aid them in doing so.

The truth is irrefutable, that our schools are overcrowded with illegal alien children, including a law that says anybody who crosses the border, flies in by plane or enters by ship must be given health care, no matter they are uninsured. These are mandated laws that have been approved by Liberal Judges. These are laws forced on taxpayers and individual States such as Arizona, Alabama, Georgia that are fighting back as every American State is suffocating under the relentless streams of illegal—ECONOMIC—aliens, coming here to pilfer the Federal and state treasuries.

To quote from the article:… "The people of Maryland have spoken..."

Getting enough signatures does not mean the "people have spoken." When the law passed by our elected representatives, that was when the people spoke. In the interest of reality and a bit of accuracy, I thought I'd point that out. The comments here reek of of anger, hatred, intolerance and absence of humanity. Problems are conveniently, and falsely, blamed on the preferred disparaging term, "illegal aliens." For shame.

"January 12, 2009 Preface
The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General, was established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) by amendment to the Inspector General Act of 1978.....
This report addresses the number of instances over the past 10 years in which the illegal alien parent of a United States citizen child was removed from the country."

"To clarify, an alien is any person who is not a citizen or national of the United States. An immigrant is an alien admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident.
An illegal alien is someone who enters the United States without immigration inspection or without an appropriate visa authorizing entry.
The term illegal immigrant is often used interchangeably with illegal alien. However, the correct term for a person entering the United States unlawfully is illegal alien."

"The comments here reek of of anger, hatred, intolerance and absence of humanity. Problems are conveniently, and falsely, blamed on the preferred disparaging term, "illegal aliens." For shame."

Illegal alien is considered a disparaging term by politically correct people who believe name calling is a substitute for knowledge.

Amen to Los Angeles resident!

It's quite odd that there's such a diametric attitude toward different immigrant groups. There's a default assumption by many whites that Latinos "must be" illegally here, but then those same people will often have a blind spot about Asians, because they assume that Chinese and Koreans "must be" here legally. In fact, there is a significant population of Chinese who are here illegally, and while not as numerous as the Mexicans and Central Americans who are not here legally, it's wrong to make assumptions based on emotional reactions to different groups. I'm tired of people from western border states extrapolating their own experiences and prejudices to our community. It was heartening to read the recent article in the New York Times about how economic conditions in Mexico have improved, so that poor people don't feel compelled to search in the USA for work. It was also heartening to read that farmers in Georgia are realizing that the racist laws that were recently passed in that state have now resulted in a massive drop in agricultural workers, and farmers are panicking because they can't get "real" Americans to do the work for such low pay, in such severe weather conditions. They have reaped what they sowed.

"I'm tired of people from western border states extrapolating their own experiences and prejudices to our community."
I'm tired of illegal alien propagandists trying to turn my home state of Md. into another L.A..
"It was heartening to read the recent article in the New York Times about how economic conditions in Mexico have improved, so that poor people don't feel compelled to search in the USA for work."
The number of Mexicans coming here has always fluctuated, but they still come here by the hundreds of thousands every year. That doesn't include the thousands of babies born to aliens, and the thousands of older Mexicans sponsored for citizenship by their legalized relatives. In L.A., large swearing in ceremonies can resemble latin AARP conventions. Who says crime doesn't pay.
"It was also heartening to read that farmers in Georgia are realizing that the racist laws..."
Farm workers represent a small and consistent number of the alien population. They have never been the problem, but propagandists use the threat of spoiled food and soaring prices to stop any attempts to control the other 10 million+ illegals that are the problem. The open borders crowd doesn't want a guest worker program because they'll lose their favorite excuse for allowing the other aliens to stay.
Racist?
If you want to see a viciously racist culture based on skin color, go to Mexico.
It is "heartening" to expose the well written propaganda of race-baiting snobs.
Try again Goebbels.

As i travel throughout the streets of Maryland (particularly Montgomery County, I almost feel as though I'm the one in a foreign country. My neighborhood has become little Havana. I have to learn a new language just to know what people around me are saying because no one speaks the english language of this country.I don't mean this as crude as it may sound, but my once quaint little street has turned into Mexico city..and its not a pretty sight. If I could move I would. I understand that children should not have to pay for the wrong doings of their parents, but really...can't their be some sort of system by which illegal aliens come into this country the right way. If its truly a better life you seek for your self and your family then do it the right way. Our politicians are using this issue of immiigration for their own personal political gain and I'm sick of it. They don't feel the effects of what they're doing...and I doubt that they care. You'll be sorry in ten years...you think this is all great but just wait until the entire state of Maryland passes the law to call this Mexicana Maryland. haha
