Dear Editor:
In response to the letter from Mr. Frecker, I am not sure about Maine but in Illinois I don’t think undocumented immigrants can get welfare, anything other than emergency medical services, or subsidized housing. Anyone from Illinois out there that can confirm or dispute this? Just curious.
So I think that, at least in Illinois, the undocumented workers are making a few bucks an hour in jobs that I doubt Mr. Frecker would willingly perform, paying taxes (payroll taxes at least I think), and not getting much back from the Government for the taxes they pay.
To all of the undocumented folks out there. Some of us love ya! Remember, the Pilgrims didn’t have I-94’s either. Lucky the native Americans didn’t have an INS.
