Pennsylvania bills would crack down strongly on illegal immigrants

Wednesday, November 02, 2011

It’s not every day that lawmakers in Harrisburg gird themselves for votes against illegal immigrants.

But that pervades Rep. Daryl Metcalfe’s ongoing fight against illegal immigrants in Pennsylvania — a battle over what demographers say is a relatively small slice of the state’s population.

Pollsters also say the matter grabs even less of the general public’s attention, but it seems likely to dominate the social justice agenda for the rest of this two-year legislative term.

Metcalfe’s “National Security Starts At Homeâ€

you kow it it bad in Pa as well in every state with all of the illegal immigrnats
The Gov has to put a stop to this & fast yes they are going to do some thing why Vote time is just around the block .
Every gov in every state ahould put a stop to this
No amnesty

Metcalfe, along with like-minded lawmakers from other states, has also proposed a special noncitizen birth certificate for the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants to prevent their families from gaining privileges.

Best idea of the day, week, year, ...

Tough Illegal Immigration Laws Could be Coming to PA

State lawmakers are working to pass a group of bills against illegal immigrants known as, the National Security Begins at Home Legislation.

Stolen jobs, and a burden on tax paying Pennsylvanians are just two of the reasons State Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R) 12th District, is trying to pass a package of Illegal Immigration bills in Pennsylvania.

" Right now you have tens of thousands of citizens unemployed in Pennsylvania. There`s illegal aliens coming here specifically to find work and if we can find work for illegal aliens we should be able to find work for Americans," says Metcalfe

Among three bills that have already passed in the house, a Sanctuary Cities Bill.

It would ensure cities are not setting policies that would attract illegal immigrants to their cities.

" We`re working with the Senate and our house leadership to protect American`s lives, liberty, and property here in Pennsylvania," says Metcalfe

One of the more controversial bills in the package waiting to hit the house floor.

A bill that would allow police to verify a person's immigration status if they're stopped for a crime, and reasonably suspected of being in this country illegally.

" I think it could be considered racist, discrimination, and kind of not what America is all about," says Evita Cotta, one of the founders of the Latino Hispanic American Community Center of Harrisburg

She says illegal immigrants are taking jobs that Americans don't want, and that many times, illegal immigrants simply can't afford to go through the citizenship process.

" They can`t afford it and it`s no different than any other citizen here that`s in need of services and they can`t get help and they don`t have the money," says Cotta

Representative Metcalfe says it would take at least until the end of the year for both the house and the senate to vote on the entire package. He is hoping to send it to Governor Corbett's desk sometime in January.

" I think it could be considered racist, discrimination, and kind of not what America is all about," says Evita Cotta, one of the founders of the Latino Hispanic American Community Center of Harrisburg

This woman is making a broad assumption that all illegals are Hispanic and showing ethnic partisanship.

She says illegal immigrants are taking jobs that Americans don't want, and that many times, illegal immigrants simply can't afford to go through the citizenship process.

" They can`t afford it and it`s no different than any other citizen here that`s in need of services and they can`t get help and they don`t have the money," says Cotta

While she admits that they are there to suck up services
