Immigration dispute reaches critical Mass

In an amazing turn of events, the State Senate in massachusetts voted for a strict enforcement law with regard to illegal aliens in the state. The law would bar the state from doing business with companies that hire illegals; it would ban illegals from getting in state tuition breaks at state universities; and it would take other actions with regard to enforcement of immigration laws. Only a few days ago, the Senate Democrats had voted down a much weaker measure that had been supported by the Republicans. Now, however, shortly after a new poll showed 84 percent of the liberal-leaning state’s voters supported tough immigration rules barring state services to illegal immigrants, even the Democrats got on board with enforcement. It is about time.

I still do not understand why the media and most Democratic politicians are surprised that the American people actually expect that the laws of the country will be enforced and not ignored.
