Way to go, Michigan. There may be hope for you yet!
There goes 1/4 of the population of GR potentially.
Hopefully it can run the gauntlet of a Dem House, a Dim Governor, and the loony mayors of Michigan’s largest cities.
some slight glimmer of common sense in MI PING!
Whoa!
We may lose half our population here in Macomb County!
I was at a restaurant last night for my daughter’s birthday. The owner was telling one of his Hispanic workers that he had looked at his farm back in Mexico on Google Earth.
Our Walmart is going to be like a ghost town!
wonder who this is really aimed at, mexicans, arabians, or most likely.. canadians.
“wonder who this is really aimed at, mexicans, arabians, or most likely.. canadians.”
It’s aimed at illegal aliens. Whatever group that consists of is their problem.
It’s about time Michigan got wise that illegals are taking jobs away from Americans not just in Michigan but everywhere! There should be a national law that says no city in America should be a sanctuary city for illegals and no state either and if it does then they should receive no federal money none nada zip!
I can think of at least one Canuck I’d love to see deported.
Add mwe to the list.
Grellis you would need 2 cars, one for her and one for her moles......
not our canadian socialist feminazi governator....but she did stand up to ms conyers and the detroit city council the other day.....first time since she took office i was kinda proud of her
um.... so the MADE A LAW that says the cities MUST OBEY THE LAW?
Yeah that sounds effective...
How about just throwing people in jail who don’t obey the EXISTING laws?
The ping list, or a list of illegal Canadians?

One would imagine that this bill doesn’t even have a snowball’s chance in hell, under the current state political alignment. The hope would be that the good people of Michigan come to their senses and elect a Republican governor and legislature next year.
I think we’ve got a shot at least at the guv.
Ping!
