Illegal Immigration - An open letter to our representatives.... The current proposal is a gift of my tax dollars to illegal aliens. I believe, many of the problem currently facing our country are a direct result of the illegals. Schools, health care, crime, traffic are all being stretched because of the illegals. Criminals (illegal aliens) do not have the right to step in front of U. S. citizens. Every time they receive free health care, every time they go to our schools, every time they drive on our roads, they steal from each of us (the citizens of this country). Clearly, I think congress is on the wrong track.
The 12 million illegals that have entered this country under the watch of this government, with a wink and a nod by government officials who swore to uphold our laws. This urks me to no end. The illegals are mostly good people trying to have a better life for themselves and their families. The problem is that its at the expense of my fellow citizens’ futures and the futures’ of our children. This goes to my main point; the purpose of government is to protect the citizens of that country. For the last 20 plus years, ours has failed to protect us from the threat of illegal aliens.
I would like to see an immigration bill that prosecutes government officials who fail to report illegals. The bill should remove federal funding from every local government and agency that does not report and/or detain illegals.
Until measures like this are included, we are repeating the 1986 debacles (Citizenship for illegals at tax payers expense). Congress people and President Bush, please do a better job than the current proposal. Step up and do the right thing for this country and its citizens. Nationalize our boarders......
Just to put this in perspective, illegal aliens cost tax payers $89 Billion dollars a year or roughly $20K per illegal alien. This is according to the Heritage Foundation (a washington DC think tank) http://www.heritage.org/
