Frederick County Board of County Commissioners

Madam President:
It has been brought to my attention that the Frederick County Board of County Commissioners is considering adding to the legislative package “wish list” to be delivered to our state delegation a provision offered up by Commissioner Charles Jenkins.
I watched the public testimony on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 in regard to this proposal and wish to inform you I oppose the immigration legislation proposed by Frederick County Commissioner Charles Jenkins. This one sentence legislation appears designed to generate headlines and is divisive for our community.
The complex issue of undocumented workers within the United States requires a comprehensive bi-partisan federal approach that includes a thorough examination of current U.S. policies in this area.
The results of this federal action should lead to reasonable, fair, and effective solutions which aid in uniting our diverse population.
I ask that the Board remove this item from the package that is delivered to our state delegation for consideration by the state assembly.
Sincerely,
George D. Wenschhof

Good letter George. It is impossible for local governments to address the issue of "illegal aliens" without enforcement of current laws and aggressive action by the federal government. Unfortunately, neither party will address the issue. Republicans see cheap labor; Democrats see votes.
