[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Responding to a MoCo tax hike by complaining about immigrants is nonsensical. As if the County Council controls federal policy. MCPS has to play the demographic hand they're dealt.[/quote]

You know, if more localities complained to the federal government about the cost of supporting illegal immigrants, maybe, just MAYBE, they would start enforcing our laws. 
It is ridiculous.  I view this as an unfunded mandate by the feds. 
And, this is precisely why Trump is rising in the polls.  
A Clinton presidency will mean no illegal immigrants deported, which in turn, will mean more illegal immigration.  [/quote]

Has she actually said this? You know that a lot of illegals have been deported under the current administration, right? For all the criticism of Obama this always seems to be ignored.[/quote]

Yes, she has actually said this.

[quote]Hillary Clinton’s pledge not to deport any illegal immigrants except violent criminals and terrorists represents a major break from President Obama, and it could vastly increase the number of people who would be allowed to stay in the country.

The declaration this week from the Democratic presidential front-runner drew praise from immigrant rights groups, which have largely given up hope on pushing legislation that would create a path to citizenship for the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants. Many activists have sought in recent months to push Obama and his potential Democratic successors for stronger executive actions.

Clinton’s position, which she described during Wednesday’s Washington Post-Univision debate, gives her an effective way to energize Hispanic voters, particularly in contrast to calls by Republican front-runner Donald Trump for mass deportations. But it was not clear Thursday whether, as president, she would be able to keep the promise.[/quote]

Yes, he has deported illegal immigrants, but he has also taken action that encouraged more illegal immigration.  Remember his executive action and the absolute flood of illegals that came following that?  [/quote]
