I live in northern Colorado. Greeley, Colorado is a destination spot for illegals. There are thousands of them here. Our school district flat out admits there is something like 692 illegal students enrolled.
My local police dept. has been ORDERED by the federal government to let all illegals go unless there is a felony arrest warrant. Heads should roll if we can get hold of this written order. Who in the federal government is telling our police to ignore the rule of law. WHO? I want the names of these officials! Maybe some FReepers who read this can help.
A couple of days ago I attended an event supporting Republican Marc Holzman, candidate for Colorado Governor. I told him my story of seeing a sheriff that had pulled over a van full of illegals, about ten of them. When I told him that they were ordered to let them go, Marc Holtzman got mad, visibly mad. He said to me "That is INSANITY!" Wow, a candidate willing to stand up against the illegals. He wants to get together a coalition of governors to call Washington on the carpet.
I am a Canadian with a Green Card and let me tell you my family and I went through hell to get it! I could write a book on all the troubles we went through - a 6 year quest of uncertainties, doubts, depression and finally when we recieved our Green Card we were so tired that we didn't say much at all.
My point in all this is that the INS or Homeland Security really went out of their way to make us feel like criminals at every turn and we went the legitimate route to become legal immigrants. If I am feeling jaded it is because the same people who put us through hell and back are the same people that allow millions of illegals to come here and they have no fear of being deported once they get here.
