Keep Illinois from being a sanctuary

Esmeralda Cruz writes and says the breaking up families is wrong when illegal aliens are deported. She is right, the families should not be broken up, deported parents should take the kids with them.

Current immigration laws must be enforced to keep America strong. If 20 million illegal aliens vacated America, The U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Legal workers would add $401 billion in IRS income.

The unemployment rate would vanish. We we would lose 500,000 illegal inmates. No more press one for Spanish. At least 400,000 babies would not be born in our country, costing $109 billion per year per cycle. The list of benefits goes on.

Illinois has 2.1 million illegal aliens, that figure will grow quickly as they leave Arizona and the other 16 states that are preparing Arizona-type laws. Do you want Illinois to continue to be a sanctuary state? I don't!
