Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan said yesterday his recent trip to El Salvador affirmed his belief that local government should embrace illegal aliens and leave immigration enforcement to federal authorities.
"We have to find ways to show compassion, not to split up families [and] not to send back half a million Salvadorans to a country that is just trying to create jobs for their current population," he said.
Mr. Duncan also said the trip -- a four-day junket for him and three aides that cost county taxpayers about $8,000 -- convinced him that the way to stem illegal immigration is to foster economic development in the Americas so people have a reason to stay in their home country.
I should call Mr. Duncan and ask him if he would be willing to support a boarding house in his neighborhood for illegal aliens. I mean, he is always touting the diversity of Maryland. How about some diversity in his own neighborhood. 15 cars parked on the front lawn, 50 illegal alien men living in one house coming and going all day and night, drinking on the street corner. Mr. Duncan can spend his weekends picking up Corona beer bottles and socializing with his illegal alien neighbors.
