I am appalled at the boldness of illegal immigrants ignoring U.S. laws. They use their children as weapons because they know Americans are greatly concerned about children’s welfare. If they were convicted criminals, the state would take custody of their kids because children can’t be placed in jail with their parents. So what is the […]

House resolution is bad news
Congressman Bruce Poliquin is at it again, signing on to a U.S. House of Representatives resolution that would grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. The procedure used for this measures is known as “Queen of the Hill,” akin to the child’s game “King of the Hill.” In that scenario, four bills would be voted on and […]

Democrats being obstructionist
Sanctuary cities defy federal laws. These cities have noted their new illegal immigrant populations and sympathetically protected their criminal elements from deportation. They do not cooperate with immigration officers, defying federal law. The federal funding of those cities should be discontinued and their administrators prosecuted. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama did little about […]

How do legal immigrants feel about illegal immigrants?
I have been wondering if somebody in the news media would ask immigrants who came into this country legally what they think of immigrants coming into this country through the back door. Seems to me legal immigrants would have a very different take on the subject of immigration than the news media has been showing […]

L. Greaney: Rules for illegal immigrants
I agree with The Washington Post article by Marc Thiessen, printed in the Sun Journal Dec. 3. In the article, Thiessen objected to allowing benefits to those illegal immigrants who are subject to the Obama immigration policy — no welfare, food stamps, tax credits, Social Security or Medicare until they become U.S. Citizens. I would […]

P. Belkenny: America cannot support the world
Yes, the U.S. is a nation of immigrants. As far as I know, there were no immigration laws in effect in the early days and most immigrants came voluntarily because they wanted a better life. Others were forced to come here under duress. Allegedly, there are 2.5 million young children in America who are living […]

Cal Thomas: Cab driver has right answer to immigration
The cab driver taking me to the Washington Nationals baseball game on July 4 is from Bangladesh. I ask him how he got here. He said his father “won the immigration lottery” some years back, was admitted under U.S. immigration law and eventually became a citizen, as did his son. He is proud to be […]

J. Breton: Something has to be done
As a taxpayer of this state and of this country, I agree with the governor that no General Assistance be given to illegal immigrants. There are barely sufficient funds to support our own people without supporting those who show up illegally. The reason people come to this country illegally is to get supported, as they […]

S. Will: Gov. LePage is talking sense
As long as there are homeless Mainers and those in need of help who live here — most of whom have paid taxes to the state of Maine — I am very much against aid to undocumented immigrants. How did they get here? Many came from other states, but it costs money to travel. Let […]

S. Robinson: No welfare for illegal immigrants
If officials and residents in Maine’s big cities want to fund welfare for illegal immigrants, let them make a special tax in their cities to pay for it. However, everyone across the state should not have to pay for choices any single municipality makes. I have no issue with giving welfare and support to people […]
