But I’m busy that day, at the Elgin Candidate Forum.
It frightens me when people talk about amnesty for illegals. It didn’t work in 1986 and the problem is worse today. Our youth can’t find jobs. Our less-skilled citizens can’t find jobs. Our social services are taxed to the max and we are importing more needy people.
Make no mistake, ICIRR and SOAP have no desire to push for the enforcement of our laws and assimilation into our culture. They think asking people to adopt the basic rules of good neighbors is “offensive” and they go on to label us “nutcases.” They were responding to this blog about the responsibilities of new arrivals to Elgin:

We are a “hateful group” according to SOAP.
Well, these folks are organizing a trip to Washington to march on ICE headquarters, presumably because it is bad to send people home if they don’t have authorization to be here.
These same people think it’s bad to push for the deportation of the criminals living among us.
So, let’s say this Congress passes the amnesty bill and President Obama signs it. What will change locally? Will the illegals suddenly become model citizens who pay their own way? Will they magically assimilate into our neighborhoods?
And perhaps most important…will granting them amnesty discourage a new wave of illegals from Third World countries?
You really need to attend the candidate forum and find out how our future Elgin leaders feel about this problem. Frankly, the current city council does little to stand up to the illegals they know are living here and committing crimes.
You choose. Hop the bus to DC and protest for the rights of illegals...or come to the candidate forum and see if there is any hope for Elgin.

ReplyDeleteThe illegals are here to break up America
Many Americans have just given up.
I hope we can change it.
The only thing I care to hear from the candidates is their stance on ILLEGAL immigrants in Elgin. I'm sick of reading/hearing about undocumented immigrants - they are ILLEGAL. What part of ILLEGAL do people not understand?
