Racists pass strict illegal immigration bill - in Massachusetts?

They must be racists. The bill is pretty tough on illegals: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaki ... e_pas.html

With one lawmaker citing President Lincoln's respect for the rule of law, the Massachusetts Senate passed a far-reaching crackdown this afternoon on illegal immigrants and those who would hire them, going further, senators said, than any immigration bill proposed over the past five years.

In a surprising turn of events, the legislation replaced a narrower bill that was passed Wednesday over the objections of Republicans.

The measure, which passed on a 28-10 vote as an amendment to the budget, would bar the state from doing business with any company found to break federal laws barring illegal immigrant hiring. It would also toughen penalties for creating or using fake identification documents, and explicitly deny in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants.

The amendment would also require the state's public health insurance program to verify residency through the Department of Homeland Security, and would require the state to give legal residents priority for subsidized housing.

The amendment will now be part of negotiations with the House as part of the entire state budget.

Supporters, especially Republicans, struck patriotic notes and spoke of the sanctity of the law as they spoke on the Senate floor.

"It was President Lincoln -- and I'm going to paraphrase here -- who suggested that respect for the law should be preached from every pulpit taught by every mother to every child," said Senator Bruce Tarr, a Gloucester Republican.

Oh - wait a minute. This is Massachusetts so never mind. It's only lawmakers giving the people what they want when it comes to cracking down on illegal immigration.

Not like Arizona. Nope.

Way to go Massachussettes!

There's nothing racist about obeying the law!

Change we did not vote for is an oxymoron by now.

If Massachusetts can wake up... there is hope for several other Blue states.

this is the same state "Massachusetts's" that the Drunk Illegal Alien Slammed into a State Rep. ... he couldnt have hit him at a worse time... just prior to a vote

makes you wonder if it swayed any of the politicians attitude about Illegal Aliens prior to the vote

"Nothing is going to happen to me, man."

Those were the immortal words of an inebriated illegal alien who rear ended an ass – Democratic State Rep. Michael Moran of Brighton, Mass. – in what was described in the press as a "serious car crash."

Welcome to our world, Mr. Moran.

100 - 1 odds that Moran voted against this Legislation

AMEN to that! I hope New Jersey will follow.

wow this is nothing short of amazing for mass , one of the most liberal states in the union to push something like this .....

the tide is now against the illegal immigrants ....

'Bama & Co. say it's Open Borders, Come And Get It. Individual states say it's time to put Americans first in this magnificent country.

I wonder what would happen if 'Bama and Co. had to stand in an unemployment line, along with desperate Americans of all ages.
