Bill Introduced to Block Services for Illegal Immigrants
posted 12:42 pm Thu January 31, 2008 - Annapolis, Md.
The leading Republican in the House of Delegates has introduced legislation to block illegal immigrants from receiving some government services.
The bill sponsored by House Minority Leader Anthony O'Donnell would clarify the law so people without proof of legal residency would not be entitled to receive some public assistance. The bill would not take away federally mandated services such as public school education and emergency medical care. However, O'Donnell says Maryland should make certain illegal immigrants can't receive in-state tuition or other benefits.
O'Donnell says he doubts his bill will pass, but he wants to make a point.

Since the house has a Democratic majority, I doubt it will get passed. People need to wake up and realize Democrats will do nothing about illegals receiving services. They want to take your money and give it to these criminals. Shameful!!!
