I applaude the move, but there is no way this will pass here.

But it dose make the dems get on record. When an issue is running 60/40 favorable nation wide and 70/30 favorable in "Swing" states you need to make the other side go on recorded as being firmly and fanatically on the 30 side. Make the dems vote on the bill so that when the run for higher office later it can be thrown back in their faces. Remember Obama's "Present" votes here in Illinois. Because the issue wasn't pushed he could get away with not taking an official position on campaign killing issues. Make the dems go on record even if you lose. You never know which junior state rep will be the next socialist presidential candidate.

Although I thought Texas was the most likely state to back Arizona's hand (if only to keep the half million illegals in AZ from running to Texas, it doesn't appear that the GOP Governor in Texas has the stomach for the fight. And the way the legislature in Texas is structured they can't just go into special session unless the governor calls them.

It has about as much chance of passing as a bill defunding CASA. After 10 years in MD, I’m sure glad we moved to VA a couple of years ago.

Fun to know it was introduced here.

At least we’ll have that. (:

Don’t get your hopes up, this is Murdahland. Not going to pass, or likely get out of committee.

I think illegals run PG and Montgomery counties. This should be fun to watch.

That you Plissken?

Seriously though, I think that as this law is enforced and the mass exodus of illegals from AZ pours into other states, they will take notice and their governments will be put under the same pressure as AZ's for them to act.

For what, comic relief? This is MARYLAND we’re talking about. It’s a whole sanctuary state.

The only thing that flabbergasts me in this state is when an elected official...the legislature...or the voters get something right or even come close to doing so.In January we sent a Republican to the Senate by a margin wide enough that the RATS couldn't steal it...like in Minnesota.A couple of days ago our legislature came within a few votes of actually recognizing that this country has a right to have borders.If it's that bad for the RAT philosophy here think of how bad it must in *normal* states.

It amazes me... the contradictions! They are here illegally, yet we allow them to go to school cheaper than legal residents, in many cases on the taxpayer dime!

I love Pat McDonough. :D

He was talking about this this morning while substituting for host Tom Marr.

Doesn’t sound very likely right now. I heard a news report on the radio earlier this morning that Gov. McDonnell says that Virginia has done all it can do against illigal immigration. Maybe he’s getting too much heat from the lawsuit challenging ObamaCare and the Confederate history month kerfluffle.

Welcome to MD! Native Central MDer but lived/worked in CT 2 years (still remember it well - as if I was there 20). I know what you mean all around. Just remember that CT had a Repub gov before MD - but then again, they also had the molesting-seatbelt laws 1st and started the “police work zone/slow-down” when I was there!

Maryland? Maryland? Good luck with that.

As you are probably aware, the Northern VA jurisdictions started tightening up on illegals, so they went to the ‘sanctuary city’ locales nearby, i.e., DC and Montgomery/PG Counties in MD. So long as Marylanders keep electing what they do to office, you’re stuck with ‘em.

Prince William County has really tightened up, and illegals have self-deported. Probably to DC or MD, as you say.
