This is a very good letter to the editor. This woman made
some good points. For some reason, people have difficulty
structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting
the currently proposed immigration revisions. This lady
made the argument pretty simple.


NOT printed in the Orange County Paper...................

Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which
They either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which
does not agree
with the philosophy they're pushing on the public. This
woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have
been published; but, with your help it will get published
via cyberspace!

New Immigrants
From: "David LaBonte"

My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of
The OC Register which, of course , was not printed. So, I
decided to "print" it myself by sending it ! out on the
Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined.
Dave LaBonte (signed)

Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in
the Orange County Register:

Dear Editor:
So many letter writers have based their arguments on how
this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one,
suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because
the people now in question aren't being treated the same as
those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of
entry. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point
out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not
willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer.
Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe
to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship
and stand in a lo ng line in New York and be documented.
Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss
the ground. They
made a! pledge to uphold the laws and support their new
country in good and bad times. They made learning English a
primary rule in their new American households and some even
changed their names to blend in with their new home.
They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their
children a new life and did everything in their power to
help their children assimilate into one culture.
Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no
labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and
craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a
future of prosperity. Most of their children came of age
when World War II broke out. My father fought along side
men whose parents had come straight over from Germany ,
Italy , France and Ja pan . None of these 1st generation
Americans ever gave any thought about what country their
parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler,
Mussolini and the Emperor of! Japan . They were defending
the United States of America as one people. When we
liberated France , no one in those villages were looking
for the French-American or the German American or the Irish
American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we
carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of
those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up
another country's flag and waving it to represent who they
were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who
had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly
knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the
melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl. And here we
are in 2006 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same
rights and privilege s . Only they want to achieve it by
playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the
entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their
mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an
American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who
landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better
than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in
raising future generations to create a land that has become
a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I
think they would be appalled that they are being used as an
example by those waving foreign country flags. And for that
suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it
happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the
immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling
the United States just yet.

I hope this letter gets read by millions of people all
across the nation!!

Ever onward!!

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA

Reason why I'm asking this is I had someone tell me that they were concerned by some of my comments about Iraq, the NRA, and the US education policies. My comments about Iraq, were that we created most of the problems there today. Comments concerning the NRA, well I'm a member. In regards to education, I said that we should spend more to help those that cannot afford to go for higher learning.

But, I was called a 'flaming' Liberal, because of these viewpoints. I view myself as more 'middle of the road' than anything else.

So, please explain things to me!

Last year, when I first realized that criminal elements in our own government carried out 9/11, I was shocked and horrified. I couldn’t sleep for a week. Then I felt scared. I was afraid of what they would do next. Now I’m just angry. I’m mad as fvck and not a day goes by that I don’t try to spread the truth.

What was your reaction?
