Bravo! That was one of the most coherent statements of the issue I've read to date. Let's promote Mayor Barletta to a cabinet level official!

Soory Mayor, the $$$ have been appropiated to fund Social Sec. illegl aliens. Next we're gonna raise the retirement age to "save" S.S. But don't worry, the illegals sure as hell ain't.
As mayor of Hazleton, I have had enough!
Interesting that the Union's position parallels that of Bush and the other open borders crowd.
How do you Bushbots reconcile that? Is Bush now a supporter of Unions?
What is particularly troubling is that he, as an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic, should never have been in this country in the first place, let alone in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.I also ask you to give Hazleton the resources it needs to remove the illegal immigrants from our city. I challenge you to open a necessary Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in downtown Hazleton.
This is what makes this such a farce. The Senate and the House do not need to hold "hearings" to know that the federal government is not doing the job they are required by law to do, and are paid by the U.S. taxpayers to do.
In addition to passing and enforcing their own immigration laws, towns like Hazleton need to be suing the federal government for the negligence that is leading to all these unnecessary burdens of crime and its attendant costs.
but, bit, I'm told these are all good people coming here looking for work....
Surely we are not being lied to?
Mayor Barletta is 100% right! Why won’t government look at the real cost of these illegals? The legal, tax paying citizens of this state and country support the illegals through our social services programs, free medical and drugs, free interpretors, free legal services, and education that they do not contribute to by paying taxes. Let’s not forget the cost to have multi-lingual public servants, multi-lingual driver’s license centers and exams, and multi-lingual public buildings. We should not be rewarding their illegal activities with services paid for by legal, tax paying citizens. These people are stealing from us. We have laws against stealing - enforce them! Protect those of us that pay for your protection. If all employers that hire illegals and all landlords that rent to illegals took 25% - 30% of the wages they pay them or rent collected and could document who the money came from, then maybe it would help offset the cost. But probably not. This is almost like “taxation without representation”. I am being taxed but I am not being represented by the federal government that I support.
