Mass Illegal Immigration Crackdown June 2, 2010

Last Thursday the Massachusetts Senate passed a 22 page amendment to the 2011 budget that would crack down on illegal immigrants in the state.  The vote was 28-10.  Now it needs to get through the House and be signed by the Governor, who could potentially veto the amendment.  Read more at the Boston Herald or Fox.  To see the arguments against the budget amendment click here Boston Globe.  Interesting that liberals like Martha Coakley and Deval Patrick are suddenly concerned with cost when it comes to cracking down on illegal immigration.

Deval Patrick "questioned if the state could afford to pay for the new measures, even as he acknowledged he hadn’t read the 22-page budget amendment"

A Suffolk University/ 7 News Poll shows 84% of Massachusetts voters support requiring proof of citizenship to apply for state aid. Will Deval Patrick veto the bill and hurt his chances for re-election in November?  Will he flip flop on his illegal immigrant position and pass the bill?  If the federal government isn't doing it's job when should the states intervene?

State Rep. Struck By Illegal Immigrant May 25, 2010

A serious car crash involving a local lawmaker Mike Moran and an intoxicated illegal immigrant is threatening to reignite already heated debates about immigration on Beacon Hill, according to police reports.  See full story at Fox.  In late April Moran voted in favor of state funding for illegal immigration.  He voted against Jeff Perry's amendment 119 which would require the state to verify citizenship status before handing out state benefits.  State police were unable to notify immigration authorities that Naranjo might be illegal because Gov. Deval Patrick revoked an order by former governor Mitt Romney three years ago which gave state police power to investigate immigration violations.  A passenger in Moran's vehicle is currently in critical condition.  Will tax payer dollars pay for vehicle repairs and hospital bills?  Do you think the suspected illegal immigrant has insurance?  Why does Massachusetts continue to enable illegal immigrants?  Is political correctness above the law?

Mass. Keeps Funding Illegals April 30, 2010

State representative Jeff Perry (R-Sandwich) filed an amendment to the 2011 state budget that would restrict non-residents in Massachusetts from receiving tax-payer funded public benefits.  However amendment 119 died when a majority decided to send it to a "study".  A YES vote would send the amendment to a "study".  A NO vote would keep the legislation process moving.  Rep. Spellane and Costello did not vote.  See the list at Red Mass Group.  Click here to see all the Massachusetts State Representatives.  Who represents you?  Are they doing a good job?

What's more surprising?  Finding out that the state of Massachusetts gives funds to illegal immigrants? or Finding out that even liberals in Massachusetts might actually decide to stop picking up the tab?
