Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is urging his part of the state to roll out a welcome mat to illegal aliens after returning from a fact-finding mission to El Salvador.

Mr. Duncan thinks we must express compassion to those who enter our country illegally. He thinks we must be tolerant and enlightened, warm and hospitable. He sees the issue of illegal immigration as being incredibly complex and multilayered, and anyone who expects government officials to enforce the laws of our land is a small-minded Neanderthal incapable of grasping the nuances of it all.

Mr. Duncan says we cannot send the illegal aliens back to El Salvador, because there are no jobs there. We just can't break up families that way. That is just not nice. That is just not the American way. And all these illegal aliens want to do is work, except for the gang members who want to stick graffiti on walls and deal in mayhem and make babies in order to secure your tax dollars.

Conveniently enough, Mr. Duncan does not object to spending your tax dollars. Why, he feels obligated to spend more tax dollars in an attempt to provide the citizenry, legal or otherwise, with all the necessary public services.

Being the humanitarian that he is, Mr. Duncan wants to reach out to the gangs plaguing Montgomery County. He wants to find more tax money to counsel the youths and show them that there is a better way. He is opening his heavy heart, and your wallet, to the downtrodden of El Salvador, because that is the kind of public official he is.

"I want us to be an open and welcoming community," he says.

And so now, there it is: Welcome to Montgomery County, Illegal Aliens Included.

That piece of news is useful to those home buyers who might be disinclined to dole out their tax dollars to illegal aliens. If so, they can skip Montgomery County and instead search for a home in Frederick County or elsewhere.

If you are an illegal alien, you know where you should be setting up shop.

Goodbye, Montgomery County. It was a good run while it lasted.
