For the last several months I have been writing letters to our representatives in the government regarding closing our borders, and with the exception of those in the House, most have sent from letter responses touting their view of a putting through "comprehensive reform". Even when I told them I was against any kind of comprehensive package that was what "they" wanted to pass. Even with multiple polls showing the majority of people polled showing their support of closing our borders before any kind of comprehensive package reform, it seems our president and senators do not hear the people. Either they do not hear us, or do not believe us or just have their own agenda. And it doesn't matter it seems, if they are Republican or Democrat.
So why the disconnect from the mainstream of the country? Big Business pressure? Trying to present themselves as being "compassionate"? Or trying to tie down those future voters?
Or a combination of all of the above?
Quite frankly I am sick of the "comprehensive" talk from the senate and the president. The borders should be closed. Especially our southern border. A 2000 mile fence with all possible electronic surveillance backed up by our military. That is the priority.
Once the border is closed then go after the employers of illegal aliens. I would also recommend going after anyone who harbors illegal, anyone who rents a room or a house to an illegal, anyone who sells them a car. There should also be NO WELFARE of any kind. No schooling for the children of illegal, no free medical care unless its a life or limb emergency. And biggest of all, no more anchor babies. Citizenship should NOT BE automatic for children of illegal. And no more bilingual requirements. English as our official language. No bilingual ballets. No bilingual education. No more having every official document being printed in both Spanish and English. No more bilingual telephone answering messages. If you live in this country you learn English. Plain and simple.
Close the borders, do all of the above and there will be no need to deport millions of illegal. They would have no choice but to leave this country. Those that wish to stay must leave and apply for entry. NO AMNESTY OF ANY KIND, SHAPE OR FORM. Once all of the above has been put in place and is working and effective, then and only then should a guest worker program be "discussed". And our representatives had better start listening to the people of this country.
The recent protests and marches by illegal demanding their "rights" sickened and angered me. And apparently many other Americans. Which is why the liberal media has dropped most coverage or even mention of the protests. What "rights" does someone who broke our laws to enter this country and is not a citizen have? None that I am aware of other than the right to go to jail. They have that "right". If a citizen of this country breaks our laws they could expect to be prosecuted and likely go to jail. But not, if our leaders have their way, not if you are an illegal alien. Excuse me, illegal "immigrant".
Our leaders also want to allow illegal to receive social security payments as well as disability payments even if they worked illegally and used a fake or stolen social security number. They break the law and are given the benefits as if what they did was no crime. Let a citizen do the same and see what happens.
I don't know what will make our leaders finally listen to the people of this country. Maybe cleaning house completely by voting in someone that is from neither major party. Maybe an "American" party.
And I would also like to see all immigration stopped until the millions illegal currently here have left or are absorbed. Once that happens, then and only then startup further immigration to this country. I don't know if that would be workable but it is something that needs to also be discussed.
The main thing that needs to be done first is close our borders. Then worry about the rest.
