Illegal Immigration Rage -- Local and National Frustrations

After the immigration bill was killed, we let ourselves breathe a little easier. But just because that battle was conquered doesn't mean we don't have a long way to go.

My own Montgomery County is the center of a specific battle right now. An ID card is apparantly being issued by immigrant advocacy group CASA de Maryland. According to the Washington Examiner, the group has provided more than 10,000 ID cards to illegals over the past 10 years. HumanEvents.com, 8-21-2007
