An open letter to the President of the United States
By Kaye Grogan
Dear Honorable President Bush:
It is obvious that the illegal immigration problem is getting totally out-of-hand. The first mistake centers around the leaders sitting back while millions of foreigners crossed our borders over the years. Now evidently, no one can come up with a viable solution to this ongoing problem.
The real problem does not lie with Americans that won't do certain jobs. We both know that Americans cannot afford to take jobs offering cheap labor wages without any benefits.
While the cheap labor employers are seeking to hire people who will work for very little compensation, our country is going to the dogs. Why should these employers be allowed to endanger the safety of the American citizens as they hire people who have entered our country illegally? Since when should people who don't have any respect or regard for our laws be rewarded for their illegal entry into America? And you can't mend a law that has already been broken, no matter how many resolutions are drawn up by congress. People who break the law should not be rewarded, they should be punished.
Our people — especially the elderly, are suffering in their own country, so therefore it is "unacceptable" that we as American taxpayers should have to bear the brunt of a country like Mexico and be responsible for boosting their economy, while our own people are suffering. The Bible says that "charity" first begins at home.
As long as the illegal population is sending billions of dollars annually back to the Mexican government, it is easy to assume that President Fox will continue to encourage the people of Mexico to continue to do whatever is necessary to invade America. After all, he is the beneficiary of this type of illegal activity.
There is a simple solution to replacing the need for illegal immigrants to come to America to work in a "guest" workers program. The prisons are filled to capacity with a large amount of "unproductive" citizens. These prisoners can return something back to society for their crimes by picking crops and other jobs that other Americans (supposedly) will not take. In other words, earning their upkeep. Of course, the prisoners would have to be guarded the same as when they are assigned to work detail on the highways.
Mr. President, it is simply asking too much of Americans to stand by and watch as our United States flag is being banned from schools, for fear that it offends other nationalities. Many people made a great sacrifice by shedding their blood so Americans could remain free. And the flag is symbolic of those great sacrifices.
As Representative Rep.Virgil Goode of Virginia said: "if Mexicans want to fly the Mexican flag — then they need to go back to Mexico." AMEN!
The religious people, especially the Christians, have been attacked through groups like the ACLU far too long. And the foreigners are expecting us to be tolerant of their various religions — at the same time showing extreme intolerance for us to practice our religion and traditions openly. As you well know, our ancestors risked their lives to start a country founded on God. And that religious freedom is protected under the First Amendment. Separation of church and state simply means: that the government cannot adopt a particular religion and make it mandatory that all people accept and practice the selected religion. I believe that the anti-God groups know this to be the case, but they have been allowed to trample over the religious rights of American citizens, while the government conveniently looked the other way hoping this dilemma would just go away just like the problem with immigration.
Yes, we are all products from our ancestors coming to America to establish a new colony, but all other countries started the same way, and they are not allowing millions of illegal immigrants to invade their territory. Everybody wants to come to America, because they have heard about all of our free programs they will be entitled to at the expense of the hard-working American taxpayers. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of all the "freebies" here? . . .while our own people — especially the elderly, suffer through agonizing health problems with minimal or not any help at all. This is definitely not what America should be about.
In closing Mr. President, I hope that a resolution to combat the influx of the illegal immigration problem is soon resolved. It is very difficult as a natural born American to see our country in such a sad state of affairs.
