April 1, 2006 Illegal Immigration View Comments

Dear Senator Lincoln:

I am watching C-Span and cannot believe how many Democrats continue to miss the point when it comes to illegal aliens. I understand that the Democratic Party has been pro-open border advocates because they seem to now depend on every minority group as their voting base – and of course that now includes Hispanics.

However, I used to be a registered Democrat until I realized that the special interest groups had overpowered common sense moderates in the Party and the majority of Democrats have been not only willing – but eager – to undermine the American worker by continuing to support illegal aliens coming to the United States. It IS inexcusable.

One major thing that isn’t being talked about enough is that if the magnets for illegal entry were eliminated, there would be a natural flow of people leaving. Those magnets are those who continue to promote giving them rights that only legal immigrants should have access to – from driver’s licenses, bank loans, healthcare, etc., and all who continually look the other way and hire them simply because they’ll work for less than most American citizens will. They know we have weak-in-the-knees (and head, obviously) government officials, so why not just continue crossing our borders because eventually they’ll be allowed to stay…one way or another.

We all know this – and we know that if our laws were enforced – and HAD been enforced over these past TWENTY years, that this mess would NEVER have happened at all. Our government officials have betrayed us repeatedly!!! Now, you want to do it AGAIN.

How in this world do you think that all the bureaucratic tape that will be needed to implement and support these “roads to amnesty” bills can be handled when none of the past “plans” have worked? !!!! Are you all crazy???!!! It just makes no sense to believe this will have any more positive results than Reagon’s blanket amnesty had….and could even prove worse.

After absolutely NOTHING being done for TWENTY years, here we are again, watching as our elected officials are telling 80 percent of the voting Americans to basically stuff it, while avenues are going to be opened for permanent citizenship no matter how hard we are yelling and screaming out here!!!! Something is seriously wrong when our senators and representatives decide to go with their own agenda rather than paying attention to the public – and HISTORY. VERY seriously wrong!!!!

The problems attached to illegal aliens have grown into such a monster that half of you are scared silly to touch the issue without wearing kidskin gloves because NOW you’re depending on those illegal aliens and their family’s votes to keep you in office. Shame on you all. You don’t believe the other 80 percent can vote you out of the office you’re now sitting in??? Guess again.

Also, who, in their right mind, would have come up with such a stupid idea as instant citizenship for any kid dropped on US soil? The mother is here illegally, but once she has a kid….bingo!….mother and baby hit the jackpot. All of a sudden the kid is an anchor for whoever else in the family wants to come here!!! It’s not only SICK (as in dumb!!) but, it’s WRONG. Do you know what WRONG means Senator?IF you and the other pro-illegal alien advocates either aren’t strong enough – or don’t have the stomach to actually fix these PROBLEMS, then move your butts out of the way and let someone else do the job!!!

Eighty percent of American citizens know what the deal is – and probably any one of them could take care of this entire problem in a very common sense way that not only would eliminate many millions (they’d leave on their own), but would shut down the border, stop companies from hiring illegal aliens, and clean up this country. Know why? Because they wouldn’t be selling out to ANYONE – but would be simply putting the best interests of this country and our own citizens FIRST – where they should be.

I have found it hilarious that members of Congress seem shocked that they aren’t trusted anymore. Surprise, surprise — none of you deserve our trust – nor does our current president – or several prior to him – anymore than we’d trust a local thug. The reason should be obvious to any politician since it’s due to the fact decisions are not based on sound judgement – to the benefit of our own country – and promises made to end the actual problems never see daylight!!

We see this country, jobs, standard of living, healthcare, our companies, and everything else being sold, traded, or given away for the cause of the “globalized” world agendas….corporate and other — at the expense of our own American citizens!!! THIS is ok with you????!!! What the hell do we have for a government today – a bunch of idiots or just treasoness betrayers?? Take your pick – because that IS how you’re all appearing to the public – and it’s a damned shame that we don’t have true Americans in office instead of the deceitful bunch of betrayers that we have. Bush included.

Senator, I don’t know what happens when voters elect our senators, representatives, and other higher officials, but once in office, far too many seem to forget WHY they are in office – and begin to just pander to lobbyists, special interests, and corporate. No other country would tolerate what has occurred in the US – and every time there’s another wave of illegal aliens, the general public, taxpayers, our own kids, the social programs, schools, and everything else pays a huge price. For what???? I believe every tax payer would rather have their money going to the farmers hiring illegal aliens – while claiming “no American will do the job” – so they could become mechanized and not have to undermine this country to get their labor as cheaply as possible – while shafting other Americans!!

NEEDLESS to say I’m angry – as are most American citizens. For nearly 20 years our elected government “officials” have sat on their hands and done NOTHING except pay periodic lip service. Now, you’re all dancing to Latino music and hoping like crazy they’ll repay you all with their votes. What about the other eighty percent out here? Do you honestly believe we aren’t going to make our voices heard at the polls as each of you come up for re-election?? Maybe you won’t have to think about that for awhile – but voters are not going to forget any of you when the time comes. Guess you’re all counting on the Latino votes will be high enough to save your butts from being ousted – as you all should be. Legal Hispanics don’t agree with this disguised amnesty either….just by the way.

Americans have had enough. Watching you rant today made me sick to my stomach….you are all responsible for this monstrous mess in the first place – and all you want to do is try to fool the public AGAIN. IF this mess isn’t actually taken care of, you can expect to see some very serious violence in the future because these illegal aliens ARE hurting our own citizens and they are a very real threat to the best interests of the United States!!! Have you all sold your souls to the devil or what???!!!!

Fuming in Florida!!!!
