If you are in OUR country legally...there is nothing to fear. The only reason all these protests are being held is that the ILLEGALS do not want to give up their "free ride". They yell we are racists. We ARE NOT. WE are just sick and tired of supporting people that are taking advantage of the system, while we work harder and harder to pay for it all in taxes! And, by the way, if you want to show me that you are TRULY hoping to become an American....learn our language; fly OUR flag; and live by OUR rules. If you are illegal...get out of MY country. If you are a legal immigrant, I welcome you as my neighbor and friend. We legal Americans would be protesting too, against the illegals, but we are to busy earning a living. And while I am on a roll, to the so-called religious leaders coming to the cause of the illegals to fill up their declining pews....what about the separation of church and state? Please let the Governor do his job, and you do yours. Perhaps you can support them with your non-taxable income if you are so inclined.

These protesters can't seem to get it through their thick skulls that the working word in illegal immigrant is ILLEGAL. This, last I checked means criminal. Also last I check, someone who performs a criminal act should be punished under the law of the state or country that has jurisdiction. I'm sure that if a good tax paying american like me broke the law, the authorities would surely haul me off to jail and have no quams about breaking up my family and no advocacy group would protest for me. But, if they pick up an illegal alien and turn him over to the federal authorities for deportation (because being in this country is a (FEDERAL OFFENSE)that is wrong to these thick headed hispanic advocates because they might be breaking up a family also. I fail to find a difference.

These advocacy groups need to realize that only the illegal (CRIMINAL) immigrants are covered under this executive order. Not the Legal immigrants that are here and are doing things the right way.

I"TS TIME TO DEAL WITH THE CRIMINALS, LET THE GOVERNOR AND THE AUTHORITIES DO THEIR JOB.

Yes, we taxpayers are mad and sick of taking it on the chin and in the wallet. I welcome and support legal immigrants because they have used the system the correct way to find a better life for themselves and their families. But we cannot cope with the illegal immigrants who tax the health care, welfare, and social service systems of this state. Not only do the illegal immigrant effect the so called "majority" in the state. The minority communities and the legal aliens in this state are also suffering because of the illegals overtaxing our states services. It's time someone see's that. Illegals are hurting everyone, native born, naturalized, and legal alien. Something needs to be done and done quickly before any more services get cut out of the budget like they were just a few days ago.
