A Suffolk proposal Nassau should seriously consider Once again. Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy is under fire for a proposal that takes a commonsense approach to the handling of illegal immigrants- key word in this sentence is "Illegal", which refers to the method these individuals used to enter this country. It also means they broke the law, circumvented our immigration policies and violated a system designed to establish equity for everyone and safety and security for Americans. Add to that the fact that these "illegals" continued to break the law once they relocate in this country, and you have a pattern of behavior that speaks for itself. Yet, Levy is being criticized because he believes that an illegal immigrant, convicted of other crimes after sneaking into this country, and incarcerated for those infractions, should be deported upon release from prison. Instead, he should be lauded for his courage and Nassau County should follow his lead. What exactly would his opponents have us do? Perhaps greet them at the Suffolk County jail and give them limousine service to a county-funded hotel? Set them up with free medical insurance, a no-show job and food stamps? Provide them with free college tuition all, art the expense of Suffolk's "legal" citizens. Concern and compassion is always the order of the day, and America must still recognize the benefits of integrating immigrants into our rich and diverse society. But it is a fatal mistake- key word in this sentence is "fatal"- to allow those sentiments to blind us to the dangers these people pose to our country in today's violent and terror-riddled world.
