Illegal Immigration in Pennsylvania
Yesterday, Rep. Metcalfe held a press conference promoting the National Security Starts at Home reform package. The bills would make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to live and work in Pennsylvania. Metcalfe estimates that illegal aliens cost taxpayers $285 million annually. Much of this cost comes from the free medical and social services they receive.
Faced with the complicated legal immigration process (see this chart from Reason) it’s no wonder immigrants cross the border illegally and then migrate to states with extensive welfare systems including Pennsylvania. If state government officials concentrated on being responsible stewards of taxpayer money, instead of running inefficient charities, we could decrease the number of illegal immigrants flocking to the Commonwealth.

LET'S GET THE LAW PASSED IN PENNSYLVANIA!!!
Get the law out of Committee! If the law can pass, and it should, Delaware and Maryland can get some laws passed.
There is no question that this illegal immigration has caused more problems than anyone could have ever imagined. With the Arizona State Illegal Immigration Law upheld in the courts last Wednesday, there is no excuse for any State not to have a State law to get rid of the ILLEGAL ALIENS.
The problems they are causing WILL NOT go away until each and every ILLEGAL ALIEN is out of this Country and back in their own country where they belong. Then, and only then, will these problems go away. America has a lot of problems right now, and ILLEGAL ALIENS do not have to be one of them.
I'm working on Delaware to get a law, and I wouldn't stop until a law is passed here.
It's time for these ILLEGAL ALIENS to pick up their ANCHORS and ship out! CLEAR ENOUGH?
What do lawmakers not understand about the word ILLEGAL??? If I go through a red light and don't pay the fine. I would be arrested because it is illegal to run a red light. Yet the law allows illegal aliens roam free. To add insult to injury the hispanic population refuses to learn English. Instead Americans are being required to learn Spanish. Let's stop giving away our country. Pass this law now!!
