The first ethical issue of immigration is whether any community has a right to place the needs of its own residents ahead of the needs of people outside the community. Further, advocacy groups would have us believe that non-citizens have the same rights as citizens. They do not. If someone breaks into your home, but they wash your dishes and mow your lawn, would you let them stay? The United States of America is a sovereign nation of law abiding CITIZENS who wish to protect their home from unlawful invaders. American Citizens want their country respected, honored, and protected by its government. The issue has never been about whether or not immigrants can come into the United States but rather that they do it legally and with respect to their new host country. Any support of illegal aliens is an affront to the two million LEGAL immigrants that come to this country every year. What of their patience, effort, and desire to do things the right way out of respect to US?

George,
Can you just think a little! Do you honestly think that illegals are here and not working. What about American's that refuse to work and take advantage of the system? Aren't they also taking away from your family and kids???

Most illegal immigrants ARE hispanics!! And, as a tax paying citizen, I hope all counties follow the lead NOT to allow services to these people who are taking away from my kids & family!!

Why is it when people think of illegal immigrants the first thing they think about is hispanics? And to the ignorant comment make by Carson...Get a life!!
