A Statement from Senator Cathy Stepp
I got the following note from State Senator Cathy Stepp this morning in response to my post over the weekend about Casa in Maryland and the strangely familiar tactics of Voces de la Frontera.

The reality is appearing to be that illegal immigrants certainly DO have rights in this country--rights that aren't even extended to LEGALLY elected officials in this country. They have been passively granted the right to intimidate, harass, frighten and bully people into changing laws to suit their taste. I attribute it to the false fear that exists among prosecutors. I guess I can't blame them for not wanting to happen to them what happened to me. Problem with that: enabling only emboldens. Another nugget of wisdom spoken by our President, "We don't negotiate with terrorists." If only we all followed this policy, our country would be safer today.....
Why wouldn't they start stalking elected officials kids at school?! Why wouldn't they resort to more serious tactics each time they suffer no consequences for their actions? Those of us with kids understand that when you don't discipline/rectify a child's behavior, the outcome is predictable.
A brilliant analogy Senator. These groups are essentially throwing temper tantrums when they do not get their way. If we do not hold them accountable they will just become more emboldened.
