Americans vote too . . . ya know!
By Kaye Grogan
Our government has become so transparent even a fake crystal ball gazer can read what their next step is going to be. While they sat back (in spa rooms) this country was being bombarded with illegal immigrants — now they don't know what to do with them.
Wake up government! While you are catering to foreigners hoping to not alienate them for their votes — you are foolishly forgetting about the American voters. And most Americans are fed up with taking a back seat to lawlessness embraced by those using our borders to traffic illegal drugs and swamp our country with foreigners.
Yes, our ancestors came to America, and those who came through Ellis Island had to register so the people already here knew about them. Now we have half of Mexico here illegally.
If we are a land of laws as President Bush insists — who is paying any attention to the laws already on the books? I would say we are more a land of lawbreakers now. Everybody in Washington, D.C., is encouraging illegal activity by rewarding it with our American jobs, and straining their necks to look the other way, while 11 million people break the law and then have the audacity as one woman said: "it's not fair to try and send us back to Mexico." Not fair? . . . don't they have laws in Mexico too?
I get sick and tired of hearing how our people won't take jobs, so we need a foreign country to invade our territory and take the jobs.
Let's get one thing perfectly straight: people in America can't afford to take jobs making $2.00 an hour — while employers are bilking the system to their advantage to line their pockets with money. One loaf of bread and a gallon of milk cost more than five bucks! That would add up to over two hours of hard labor for just peanuts!
If you're fed up with the whole system — then clap your hands! Boy that was resounding!
While some of the churches are also encouraging more illegals to come on over — they need to keep them up, instead of our tax dollars, since churches are tax exempt.
Most foreigners hate America, but they don't have a problem lapping up our milk and honey, taking it right out of the mouths of Americans.
Now, having said all that: it is the fault of our leaders for letting everything get totally out-of-hand (not the foreigners). And as I said before: "they don't know what to do about the overflow of immigrants here." Well, it's high time they found a workable solution.
The way things are going in Washington or not going I should say — they are causing a lot of hostility. Many illegals crossing the borders — especially in Arizona are also involved with criminal activity there. Do you think for one minute that Americans crossing over into Mexico could get by with the same kind of intimidation? Hardly!
Many may think that this situation is just going to go away quietly, and fade into the sunset, but as the song goes: "this time you gave me a mountain, Lord . . . a mountain that I may never climb" applies to this mess we are in.
Naturally, if people openly refuse to obey the laws by coming to America illegally — then their motives have to be suspect. There is a right and wrong way to do things (no in-betweens), and coming into a country illegally is certainly not the way to gain favor with the country's natural born citizens. The majority of Americans are opposed to illegal immigrants taking American jobs — leaving many of them unemployed.
To say that the "guest worker" program is successful is like claiming someone saw a UFO landing in Wrigley Field. The pro-guest workers' groups are conveniently ignoring the enormous strain illegal immigrants are having on the economy through the welfare and medical programs. Something is definitely wrong when 92 hospitals in one state, had to close their doors permanently due to the influx of immigrants needing medical attention.
Don't you think it's time for you (as leaders and lawmakers) to get inside the real world and quit pandering to a large group who has made a mockery out of the laws of this county?
As long as you reward people for bad conduct . . . you will never be taken seriously as a person who abides by or respects the law.
And that's just my opinion!
