The speakers all seem to be on one side ... the side of a big government role in immigration. They would seem to only disagree on what big government should do to control the lives of individuals.

Many immigrants and non-immigrants are in the "leave me alone" coalition that calls for a small government role that is limited to the true purpose of government.

This is a one sided event. Most of these speakers represent the Nanny State and they will be speaking about fiat law, rather than federal Immigration law, and enforcement.

Nobody has a problem with lawful immigration,but organizations such as the Illinois Coalition of Immigrants and Refugee Rights, who receive tax payer dollars unlawfully to fund programs for illegal aliens, should be kept out of the debate, or arrested at the door along with our criminal, pandering governor who aids and abets illegal aliens with each tax payer dollar he unlawfully gives away.

It's truly right, problem ever occur when we migrates lawfully. Illinois Coalition of Immigrants and Refugee Right really should be kept away and be imprison because they are the BRAIN for this illegal immigration. Government must do something about it. They must sent all the illegal aliens to their own country, not sending them to prison like other countries do. They treated illegal aliens like criminals.

Yes, it's true that we have no problem if ever this immigrant would follow the law. The government is responsible for this problem as they make a law they must strictly implement it. We know that other people has a favoritism that the law is disregard. You are right, the government must send back this people to there country.
