I, as a first generation immigrant, think this is a great decision. I came to this country 25 years ago, and I had to prove that I have no criminal background, my education and skills are in demand, and I am not going to be a public burden. In fact, I had a job offer before coming here. I proved it, I was accepted and I am happy to be here and contribute to the wealth of the country, and my own wealth:) Illegals don’t have to prove any of these. Why would you want to let into your home a person that you know nothing about, don’t we have a lot of trouble in the country already?

I don’t oppose those from other countries from coming to the good ole USA, provide they do so LEGALLY. For those who believe it’s appropriate for others to sneak into the country, do you ever lock your doors or take other measures to safe guard your belongings? Do you call the police if someone you don’t know enters your home without an invitation? IMHO, you must be a hypocrite if you are locking your doors or calling the cops to report criminal activity. Otherwise, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want the government to safeguard our borders and know who is entering our country.

Most of the illegals flooding into sanctuary cities are not farm workers. Farm workers are generally brought here for the sole purpose of working on farms. The sad truth is these people are usually exploited, under paid and left to find housing on their own. In 1962 the United Farm Workers of America was formed. This caused the creation of an underground of migrant workers who entered the country illegally, and without the protection of the UFWA, they are exploited and taken advantage of. So while there were migrants trying to enter through the correct channels there are others who feel they deserved to go to the head of the line by circumventing the legal process. But these generally aren’t what you would find in a sanctuary city. Personally I think it is sad when people use farm workers as an excuse to support illegal immigration. What you are saying is, I want these people to pick my food so it will be cheap for me to buy it.

Good. Finally a bigger and more intrusive state government.

I’ve suspected there were far to many Canadians hiding illegally in Florida. Now officials can stop anyone who looks like a Canadian and ask to see their papers.
