Pennsylvania bill intends to stop aid for illegal aliens

Tagged:

“Pennsylvania would halt state benefits to illegal immigrants under a bill considered Wednesday by a Senate committee.

Sen. Joe Scarnati, the chamber’s top-elected Republican and the bill’s sponsor, said the intent is to drive illegal immigrants out of the state.

“If they go to Maryland, if they go to New York, then (those states) will have to deal with it,” Scarnati, R-Jefferson County, told the Senate State Government Committee. He said illegal immigration should be a “federal issue,” but the federal government isn’t tackling the problem.”*
