Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder told an audience of Hispanic business leaders that the state doesn't need an immigration enforcement law like the one causing controversy in Arizona.

Snyder told members of the Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Thursday in Detroit that such a law would "encourage a divisive atmosphere."

As a 9-year-old living near Tijuana, Mexico, Dayanna Rebolledo could stand on her tiptoes and peek over a fence at the United States. Across the fence was a safer country, a place where she could get a better education, a land of opportunity.

Now 21, having lived as an undocumented immigrant for 12 years in Detroit, Rebolledo wonders if she was wrong about that opportunity. She can't get a driver's license. She's attending Henry Ford Community College, but she won't be able to get a good job without a Social Security card.

"I don't know where my life is going to go," Rebolledo said.

Holy crap!  Can you imagine being in the adult world for three years, while attending a community college as an illegal alien and making a statement like that?  I can't.  Dayanna, and all others like her should be really, really p!ssed off at her parents.  They are the ones who chose through their own volition to be reckless gatecrashers without regard for their children let alone our American Laws.  Without sorrow, it's time to return to your motherland, Dayanna.  You've known that you didn't belong just like your parents who broke our Laws bringing you hear.

Detroit -- More than two decades ago, Celina Hernandez gave birth to a daughter in her native Mexico. But the newborn died hours later because she was three months' premature and her family couldn't afford the incubator she needed to survive.

About five years later, Hernandez gave birth to twin boys, including one with cerebral palsy. This time, her children were born in the United States, and her one son received the care he needed for his disability.
