As a Marylander, all I have to say is that our elected officials want to offer our state as a SANCTUARY STATE to illegals. I might have to move to Virginia.

Chart out your state/property taxes, if you are a homeowner, over the next 10 years or so. If you stay in place in Maryland, factor in a steady rise of taxpayer funded social services for illegal aliens, not to mention their working under the table, tax fee, and Western Union-izing their proceeds back down to Mexico or C.A.

Then run the comparatives if you were to be in a no-nonsense, taxpayer friendly local area in Virginia, experiencing a linear year-on-year decrease in illegal aliens.

From four (4) long term key perspectives it might be wise for you to move from Maryland--if you can bear that thought.

--Increased tax burden due to social services.

--Increased tax burden due to additional police needed, emergency room visits (gunshot wounds, drunk driving).

--Property value decrease.

--Crime increase. (Your life could become more dangerous).

Just run the numbers, you might have to make a cold, hard decision which will be good for you over the long run.
