Arizona got it right on immigration

I read all the letters to the Fence Post but have never written one. I have to agree wholeheartedly with Charles F. Falk, Schaumburg (May 6 Fence Post)

Mr. Falk is correct in saying "what part of illegal do detractors not get?"

He mentions the three principal groups that support illegal immigration. They are the Democratic Party, the Catholic Church and businesses looking for cheap labor.

I would like to add the media for only printing one side of the story.

Illegal immigrants can go to any emergency room of any hospital, be treated and walk away leaving same hospital with the bill, which is passed on to everyone else. The free ride does not stop there.

Illegal immigrants are taking the low-paying jobs from both teens and seniors. It goes on and on. Arizona has it right. Illinois does not.
