The Governor finally made sense for a change. Rhode Island needs to take care of it's legal citizens in these troubled times. It would be nice to keep extending these benefits and priviliges to the illegals, but we must take care of our own first, many who are losing their jobs, healthcare, and homes (if they ever could affort one). If this group really like Rhode Island and/or the United States, then they should go through the proper channels to get their immigration status/citizenship cleared up.
