Treat undocumented aliens as criminals

Posted June 27, 2009 11:00 pm

There is an e-mail regarding the federal worker verification program (E-Verify) that will travel much of our country; but for my part here in Illinois, I think it is time to put an end to sanctuary cities, villages, and townships; time to make 287-G and E-Verify enforced realities; time to stop shootings and stabbings at the Spring Hill Mall and in other local suburbs; time to prevent knifepoint intrusions off Tartans Drive in West Dundee and in other suburbs; and it's time for our elected officials at all levels to not only recognize but to start showing by their actions that "undocumented aliens" are, in fact, criminals. Let's stop putting out the welcome mat for them!

Will adding a jumbo new Walmart in our midst end up being a huge crime magnet? Let's hope we don't find out!
