Why should any American have to feel out of place in her home of many years because of illegal aliens? Shouldn't it be the illegal aliens feeling out of place? Shouldn't illegal aliens be deported?
Los Angeles has approximately 2 million illegal aliens residing here, according to estimates, probably more. Legal residents and taxpayers here are forced to pay the bills for their keep. Recently one L.A. supervisor tried to pass a bill to make illegal aliens pay for part of their medical care. The bill was shot down by the pro-illegal alien lobby, including most of the supervisors. This is unfair to taxpayers. It isn't a racial thing, it's a financial thing. Why should taxpayers be responsible for border hoppers? The costs are enormous, and California is bankrupt.
I've been pretty clear that I support legal immigration (& allowing more of it) and a massive crackdown on illegal. (Heck, I'd go so far as to lift all limits to legal #s, or at least double the # -- if we also have a zero-tolerance policy on illegals. Then at least we'd know who's in the country, businesses would be on a fair playing field vs. those who would hire illegals for peanuts, etc.) Right now we're almost exact opposite that posish.
