Immigration bill

It seems that some of our General Assembly has decided to welcome all illegal immigrants into our state of Indiana.

They are afraid of the bill is carrying negative racial overtones to those people that are illegal, and will scare many Hispanics out of Indiana. Now I ask this question, why would it scare anyone out to our state if they were here legally? And why do we have to play out the race card in every issue. I don’t care what race you are, if you are here in this country illegally, then you are illegal no matter if you are Mexican, white, black, or of a different nationality. I for one and I think most people here are tired of hearing this excuse of race in every issue.

Of course we will always have some employers that are looking at cheap labor and will put all effort into lobbying against any bill of this sort. And then there is Mara Candelaria Reardon, D-Munster, said the time is now for the Latino community to get better organized. Do she mean that the illegal’s in state would have more to say about their illegal status in our state if they were better organized? As far as I know it is not legal for any of them to vote or even run for office in our state.

So for now, those same illegal’s will be drawing on our social services and other benefits that some think we owe these people while you and I struggle to make ends meet. I think it time for people to take action like they did last summer on property taxes.
