Hey look, there's articles on this nearby!

I was looking around the internets and tried to find some articles on illegal immigration that were close to or in Pennsylvania. Suprisingly, I found such an article. In The Morning Call newspaper, located in Allentown, on September 29, 2006, there was an editorial titled "Illegal Immigration bill gets polished, but it's not getting any better" about the city council and a specific member (wow there were a lot of commas in the beginning of that sentence). Anyway, City Councilman Louis Hershman wanted Allentown to have strict guidelines on illegal immgration that would be nearly identical to that of Hazleton's laws created by Barletta. This editorial shows the views of policemen who would need to add forces to crack down on this problem and of other city officials' perspectives who believe that the immigration problem is too big for Allentown alone to handle.

Another article, this time from the Boston Globe (yay Boston), entitled "Two kinds of immigration (10/16/06)" reveal that people and politicians (there's a difference) should view both the benefits and the costs of both legal and illegal immigration. This article attempts to show that jobs are being lost by the American population to illegal immigrants but do a poor job at it. Their statistics have little validity and their information is vague at best. These authors should have never written this article and only hurt their own cause with their lack of information and semi-"pro-illegal immigration" points. And I thought better of a Boston newspaper.
