CNN: Illegal Aliens Leaving Arizona

Read the article on CNN.com today (Dec. 22) about the illegal aliens who are leaving Arizona. The article says they are going back home or to other states. New laws go in effect on January 1 that penalize employers who hire and employ illegal aliens.

It's the "other states" destination that should concern Illinois residents. If there are 12,000 illegal aliens in McHenry County already, how many will there be as a result of the Arizona get-tough stand?

What happens in communities that are over-loaded with illegal aliens? Serious drains on hospital services, school services, driving infractions and fatalities. The list goes on and on.

Legal immigrants are welcome in most places. Even if they aren't, they are entitled to be here (in the USA). Today illegal aliens are tolerated. There are even "sanctuary cities" where, by order of the local government, police take no action against likely illegal aliens unless it's a serious crime.

It's time for residents of all communities to know exactly where their local government stands.
