Maryland Town Will Help Illegal Aliens, Undeterred by Herndon Vote

"The electoral defeat of three Herndon politicians who supported a day-laborer center was perceived nationally as a warning to other elected officials. But in Gaithersburg, about 30 miles away, City Council members said they won't be deterred from opening their own facility. Anti-illegal-immigration groups were emboldened by the outcome of Herndon's election. Some local activists said they saw Gaithersburg as a fertile battle ground to continue their fight against such centers, which seek to help immigrants -- some of whom are illegal -- find jobs," the Washington Post reports. "'Hopefully, the Herndon example will ring a few bells in communities that seem to be a little harder of hearing,' said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a nonprofit group that wants to stop illegal immigration."

Face it, we'll never completely get rid of idiots like those in Gaithersburg--bleeding hearts who can't think with their brains and who probably think they're racking up brownie points for the afterlife or something.
If they really wanted to do something constructive, why don't they help the 36 million Americans who live in poverty? The 5 million children? How about fighting for universal healthcare coverage for Americans, instead of giving it to illegal lawbreakers?
Oh well, at least the officials will probably be out of a job soon, too, like their Herondon counterparts.
All I have to say, is that these morons are lucky I don't rule the world.

If this is what people in Maryland want, have at it. If they would first visit California, which probably has 11million illegal aliens, the number usually given to be the amount in the whole U.S., then they might have a different perspective on things.One things for sure, this cheap labor is going to cost them big, sooner or later. Probably, sooner.

Well good for the people of Gaithersburg...I hope it's all private funds...not one dime of public money should be used. And when those illegals and their families come looking for help with medical care, welfare, education, the good people of Gaithersburg should step up to the plate and insure everyone that they will pick up the tab. There was an excellent letter to the editor that was forwarded to me on this subject...

...Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the U.S. might protect it's own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard working and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."

According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard working and honest .. um, except for ... well, you
know. And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contr ibuting only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being anti-housebreaker.

Did I miss anything? Does this sound reasonable to you? If it does, grab a sign and go picket something. If this sounds insane to you, call your senators and enlighten them because they are stumbling in the darkness right now and really need your help...

You didn't miss a thing, takn. I have noted more than once that we could solve the homeless problem practically overnight by simply assigning a homeless person or family to each of our more prosperous citizens, based upon space in their homes and the ability to pay for needed services.

Let's start at the top and Bill Gates can take perhaps an extended family, and so on down the line. Most of us won't have to do a thing since the assignment of the homeless will be to the truly prosperous among us.

This will never happen, of course, because the rich would never allow themselves to be inconvenienced that way. However, they can readily destroy middle class neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, jobs, etc and not give it a second thought.

IF THE ELITES PROPOSING THESE VAST INCREASES IN IMMIGRATION WERE THE ONES BEING MADE TO PAY - BOTH FINANCIALLY AND IN QUALITY OF LIFE - THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

Read the book Ricas i Famosa about the Mexican Elite - President Fox, there man, encourages poor Mexicans to come to USA so Mexican Rich are not burdned with providing social services to them, the American Rich get cheap labor, keep more of their money instead of hiring trained skilled American Workers to do the work. When 5 Billion people on the planet all want to live in USA soon the invasion will come and riots and the billions of poor will loot from the uber-rich.....please American Middle Class Organize now...
In Mexico non Mexicans can not own waterfront property, many USA citizens can not work in other countries. If other countries can protect their supply and demand of work and resources why cant we? Early 1900s immigration did not involve welfare, food stamps etc, - you can not even compare......

Other countries can short border vilolators..........

If Americans crashed the border of Saudi Arabia, they would be shot on sight if they did not halt......

That's right. In fact, they would probably be shot on sight anyway whether they halted, or not.
