LETTER: The Politics Of Illegal Immigration
I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of all of the rhetoric regarding Hispanics. The Republicans and the Democrats want to extend their arms to all of the Latino communities so that they can win the elections. Why are they only going for the Latinos. What about the Italians, the Germans, the Polish, etc. We are all Americans. Most of us are Americans because our parents, grandparents or great grandparents came to this country and became Americans going through the lawful process to become Americans. What right does any non-American living in the United States have in becoming a citizen without going through the lawful process.
These “illegal” immigrants, no matter what nationality, are draining our resources. Free medical care. Free education, etc. I have heard many complaints from teachers that they cannot spend enough time teaching the correct way because of the students cannot even speak the English language. In our community, I often hear the adults talking to their children in Spanish. Why? Shouldn’t they be spoken to in English so that when they go to school they will “understand” what is being spoken.
It is time for “ALL” legal Americans to stand up and say enough is enough.
Vote with you mind, not with your party affiliation. Get rid of all the corrupt Congressmen and women. Ron Paul had it right at the Republican debate in Florida. We should extend the space program and send all those crooked politicians in Washington to the moon.
