Md. official won’t back immigration bills

ROCKVILLE, Md. — “We do it the right way.”

That’s how Montgomery County Council President Roger Berliner puts it when referring to striking the balance between public safety and maintaining good relations with the county’s immigrant community.

That’s why he’s not a supporter of twin bills in the Maryland General Assembly that would bar state and local governments from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

When Montgomery County has someone in its jail that has committed a violent crime and ICE comes knocking, Berliner said, the county holds that person and works with the federal agency.

Under the Trust Act filed in Annapolis, that would change.

One Politian that follows the law, looks out for his constituent's tax dollars. We need more like him.

Good???
Those who are for open borders I have one question for you. Before you go to bed, do you lock your entrance doors? If you do, why? Are you afraid some unwanted person(s) might enter your residence and rob, rape or murder you?

Just look at the priorities of the dumbocrat party. They want illegals to vote for them illegally so much that they are risking the safety of American citizens.
