Some Christians are upset that there are Christian, hardworking family men and women who are illegally in this country. Despite being in this country illegally, they work hard, they love this country, they support the local police, they help solve crimes, they pay taxes and they help American companies and farmers (who would otherwise see the companies and food production move to Mexico).
Jesus said let those who are without sin throw the first stone. Yet some of those who are trying to get a state immigration law regularly drive over the speed limit, drink and drive, don't pay all of their taxes (for themselves and their employees) and try to impose their religious views on all of us.
Any state immigration law would hurt farmers, increase crime, release dangerous felons from prison, increase transfer of jobs to other countries and require that we accept KGB/communist screening on the street. Immigrants make this country great. State immigration laws hurt this country.
