SOUNDOFF: Should city pay for immigration cards?
No. What is wrong with that mayor?
Delores
No. Is DeStefano crazy?
Bob
No. Typical DeStefano. Why don’t we ship him off to a foreign country and let that country pay for him? Ralph
No. I did not initiate nor have I ever supported this program. Claudine No. These ID cards were a bad idea to begin with. Bob Continued...
No. The only thing the taxpayers should be paying for is a prison cell for DeStefano, who is knowingly harboring illegal immigrants. Jim No. DeStefano is an idiot. Let him tax his own pocket. Ed No. DeStefano is running law-abiding taxpayers out of the city. Regina No. Why doesn’t DeStefano use his pay hike to fund the program? Mike No. Why is DeStefano giving out ID cards to illegals, who have infested that city and are now spreading out into the suburbs? Stupid. Pat No. I can’t get my street plowed, and DeStefano wants to use tax dollars for this program? Let him pay for it out of his own pocket. Pat No. Last week, DeStefano said he wants property reassessments and now he wants the taxpayers to pay for the illegals. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? Michelle No. Who will pay for the illegals, who don’t pay taxes? Terry No. Anyone who wants the card should pay for it, like we do for copies of birth certificates and wedding licenses. A. No. Has DeStefano gone crazy? Ann No. DeStefano should be run out of office. Kevin No. These cards should have been made self-sufficient from day one. Let the person who wants one pay for it. Tom No. And DeStefano should be impeached. Mo Absolutely not. My tax dollars are meant for other purposes. Marianne No. The people who want the ID cards should pay for them, and DeStefano should chip in. Otherwise, get rid of the cards. Cathy No. We already pay enough, and DeStefano is raising taxes all the time. Joe No. But DeStefano will do what he wants. He cares more about the illegal aliens than his own citizens. Don No. DeStefano should not be dipping into tax dollars for this program. Jen I am not against the ID cards, but I am against the taxpayers paying for them. The individual should pay for the card. Portia No way, Jose. Take the money from DeStefano’s retirement fund. Gene No. They are aiding and abetting illegal aliens with these cards, which is wrong. Jim No. Scrap the program, which was a joke from day one. This mayor is squeezing the city dry. Carolyn Of course not. DeStefano just can’t deal with his budget. George No. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their head examine. Peter No. It is not fair to the taxpayers and it doesn’t make sense. Larry No. They need to get rid of this idiot mayor. Tom No. This is wrong in so many ways. Ray No. DeStefano should be brought up on charges. This is about illegal aliens getting ID cards, which is criminal. Ann No. The taxpayers should give DeStefano a good swift kick. George No. Does DeStefano not understand what the word illegal means? Let him use his own funds, out of his own pocket. C. No. Any city funds should instead be put into jobs programs. R. No. I am appalled that the mayor wants to use city funds to finance these cards for illegal aliens. Ray No. The city should not supply anything to people who don’t pay taxes. Mark Absolutely not. Tax dollars should not be spent on illegal immigrants. Tom No. They’re already talking about another revaluation. Enough is enough. Susan No. Let DeStefano pay for it out of his salary. Michelle No. Why should we foot the bill for illegal aliens? Let them go back. Or have them fingerprinted to see what crimes they committed in their own country. Carol No. Use the mayor’s salary to pay for this program. George No. If I need a copy of a birth or death certificate, I have to pay $20. Anybody who wants one of these ID cards should pay for it out of their own pocket. Lois No. This mayor is crazy. Vin Absolutely not. This renegade mayor is out of control. The taxpayers are already being ripped off, supporting all these illegal aliens. Todd No. DeStefano needs to retire. He’s losing his mind. Barbara Absolutely not. It would be using tax dollars for the wrong purpose and for the wrong people. Oliver Let DeStefano foot the bill. Bob Absolutely not. DeStefano said the program would never cost the taxpayers. Maureen Absolutely not. Let the mayor pay for this program out of his own pocket. Tina No. If anything, tax dollars should be used to kick these illegal immigrants back across the border. Tom Of course not. Let DeStefano pay for it himself. Bea Absolutely not. Vincent No. But the mayor is going to approve this, anyway. J. I don’t know what’s wrong with using a driver’s license or a state ID card, and I don’t understand why DeStefano does not define the difference between immigrants and illegal aliens. Patrick DeStefano should pay for this himself. Our taxes keep going up and we cannot afford it. Theresa Don’t the taxpayers pay enough and keep getting less? They’re being squeezed dry. It has to end. Loretta Absolutely not. This was a moronic idea from the get-go. Kevin No. We already foot the bill for many other things in this city. John Of course not. We should not be forced to support DeStefano’s illegal activities. Original Jim No way. Tex No. It once again shows a politician unable to get rid of a useless social program. Tom No. Let DeStefano pay for it, It’s his baby. Roy
