Immigration - January 2007

I mean, that seems pretty racist. They allow people from Palestine to immigrate. Do they not like Jews? There are so many cultures there, I can't imagine why they would single them out.

If America refused to let people from Muslim countries immigrate to America we'd never hear the end of it, so why is it okay for Malaysia to be that way towards Israel?

The California orange growers said there were not enough laborers to pick the oranges before the freeze...I thought there were a couple of million illegals in California that just came to work! Obviously someone is not being truthful....either the orange growers are trying to make a point to force amnesty or the illegals are more content working the system instead of the fields! What do you think is the "true" story?

I mean there are so many problems with that. You have diseases that could be brought here, and besides that there are many many other things. We know nothing about these illegals and I feel we deserve the right to know who's coming here and if they have a violen history. Should we not have the right to know thier background before entering? If your a LEGAL immigrant then I applaud you for coming here the right way, It's the illegals who are ruining it for everyone. I just dont see how the illegal supporters are so blind to the many problems that illegals cause. They are really hurting it for the ones who follow the rules.

Newspapers seldom will publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which does not agree with their philosophy. This woman wrote a 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 long 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 Japan. 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 privileges. 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.

P. S. Pass this on to everyone you know!!! KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING!!
I hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across the nation!!
Ever onward!!

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA

Is it true after residing in US (coming from Germany) and being married for 5 years to an american citizen (living together) with child born in US, without applying for citizenship, that you become a legal alien resident? If so, what rights do you now have..ie can you apply for a job?

In Farmers Branch and other cities, ordinances are being proposed to tighten up on illegal immigrants (landlords facing fines for leasing to illegals) or making English the official language. I don't get it, if those in the Hispanic community are citizens, would they not also want to keep illegal immigrants from putting a stress on the community?

Polish and Middle Eastern immigrants have to learn English when they come to the United States so they have to learn English.

So why not Spanish immigrants? They decide to move to the United States to make a better life for themselves, but then never learn the English language. I'm not saying that learning English makes life better, but in terms of communicating with people I just feel that we make it too easy for Spanish-speaking people to learn to speak English when there are signs in so many stores in Spanish. They have no reason to learn English when their neighborhoods make it easy for them to communicate within themselves and only within themselves. This is hurting them because they cannot communicate with people outside of their circles (example: a non-English speaking woman had her six year old daughter order for her at a Dunkin' Donuts in front of me the other day). Is there any way to influence Spanish immigrants to understand the importance of learning English in the US?
