I made a letter in favor of Immigration reform.. Tell me your thoughts!?

Question

Illegal in America

Memorial Day is an important moment in remembrance of those brave and women who have died for the preservation of freedom that we cherish in America. Many Americans visited memorials set fourth throughout the nation. From New York to Los Angeles walls are engraved with last names like Johnson, Mitchell, Jackson, Nguyen. In this wall you will also find names that end with Ramirez, Lopez, Jimenez, Ruiz. All these names are symbols of pride for us. These names of these heroes have given the ultimate sacrifice fighting the Global war on Terror. It’s very probable that some of the people who have died in combat have parents or relatives who are here illegally. Are we going to send John and Ken to knock on the door and have to say the following, “We regret to inform you that your son or daughter died in combat, we are very sorry. Now we have to deport you back to you’re nation of origin.”
The debate for Immigration reform has been heated up by racist entities like John and Ken from KFI radio in Los Angeles. These shock jocks like to dehumanize the Hispanic people just like the Nazi’s dehumanized countless Jews before executing them. John and Ken, want America to think that Hispanics don’t value education, which is simply irresponsible and hateful. This rhetoric is exactly what we don’t need in this tenuous debate. The only way the Immigration issue will be solved by comprehensive Immigration reform PERIOD!
I am all in favor of building a wall, therefore keeping out Terrorists and criminals from our shores. However, I am not in favor of persecuting and verbally lynching these people like KFI Radio constantly advocates on it’s airwaves in order to gain ratings. Thank you to President Bush for his leadership in this divisive issue. And Thank you to all Americans for supporting those people who are in fact Americans!!

Answer 1

I wrote a letter in support of an immigration reform as well.

John and Ken need to kiss my brown a$$ ===== should we make them disappear? Hell yeah!

People hate this country because of people like them who think that they're "better" than anyone else. If you ask me they're just a piece of $hit.

Answer 2

American soldiers fought and died for the freedoms of American Citizens, not so criminals from foreign countries can come here and thumb their nose at us. This is not a race issue. I have friends that have hispanic surnames that are also against illegal immigration. Ever hear of Colonel Al Rodriguez of You don't speak for me?

this issue does NOT get solved by the so called comprehensive reform that was hatched behind closed doors with that traitor kennedy and the racist NCLR.

In 1986 we granted amnesty and were promised enforcement. We got the amnesty and NO enforcement.
In 2007 Kennedy again wants to grant amnesty in exchange for the promise of enforcement. Anyone with 1/2 a brain will realize that we will not get enforcement.

The fact that 90% of illegal immigrants are hispanic is just that...a fact. Has nothing to do with race. If it was 90% Canadians that were streaming across our borders and inundating our infrastructures we would be screaming about that rest assured.

The only way the illegal immigration problem will be solved is to enforce the law PERIOD!!!

Answer 3

I think its a very heartfelt letter. Congratulations. The only problem I see is that it show that you support illegal immigrants.
Illegals are from all races, not just the hispanic race. I also am a veteran, and have deep respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and its citizens. I did not give of my time to serve my country, only to have some people declared untouchable by our laws. I have to live within the confine of the laws in my country, state, county, city, community, and the laws laid out by my spouse. I am surrounded by laws. For these people to come here illegally, and then expect all of us to have to live within the law, while they don't, is ludicris. Lets start the reform, first by closing the borders. Sorting out and determining who can and should stay, can be discussed and decided after the borders are secure. This reform bill is an abomination, and there is no way that our government can or will enforce their new laws. All that will happen if this bill is passed, is take us one step closer to anarchy. You having been in the military, should understand better that there must be rules and laws, if there aren't, there can only be confusion and chaos!

Answer 4

This is a very contreversal question. This national debate should be approached calmly and with reason. It is a very emotional issue.

I am eighty years old. I remember reading in a magazine in 1940, that 1/3 of the foreign born in this country were here illegally. In those days most had entered through Canada. This is not a new issue.

Every nation has the right to exercise some controls on immigration, but no nation has the right to totally eliminate the freedom of movement of people.

Your letter is very well written. I suggest that you send it to your congressman. Even if he disagrees with you, he knows that you have a vote. It will have some effect on what kind of bills he supports.

Best wishes.

Answer 5

a million. There could be no filibuster if Harry Reid (D - Nevada) wasn't performing like his time-honored sewer living self by employing attaching the Dream Act to the protection invoice. truthfully everyone seems to be annoyed at Reid and his sneak thief tactics. 2. do no longer Ask do no longer tell could have been repealed as Democrats have the living house, Senate and the White living house. as a result, any issues of any legislations is by technique of the fact Democrats are gumming up the works. Democrats are scared to dying of dropping their potential this November so they're performing extra Conservative in a ineffective attempt to maintain their scrawny necks. Too undesirable for them the united statesa. electorate have woken up and characteristic seen by this.

Answer 6

I think that some Hispanics are too quick to use the race card. Most Americans just disagree with giving amnesty to almost all illegal aliens who have violated our laws, including gang members. We do not have to deport them, we need to: make being in our country illegally a felony punishable by at least 60 days in prison, prosecute the employers of the illegals, use the Social Security Administration and the IRS to help identify illegals, and to stop chain immigration.

If we take those steps, plus build the fence, as you agree is necessary, we can get a handle on our immigration problem. The illegals will leave if they can't get a job, but to allow those who have violated our immigration laws to become citizens is just plain wrong!

Also, you need to divide your letter into 2 or 3 paragraphs, and Bush is one of the worst presidents in American history!

Answer 7

RG is right. The "shamnesty" now being pushed is a crock. The U.S. should first achieve border security before passing any new immigration laws.

Our lawmakers are lawbreakers, and even more so than the illegals because they are charged with upholding U.S. law. I think some major oaths are being violated by our esteemed leaders...........................

Answer 8

I prefer to side with the constitution and would like to point out that no immigration "Reform" bill is needed at all.. The government just needs to do its job.

Answer 9

Passions are high on both side of the illegal immigration issue.
As to Bush, he is calling American Citizens that do not support his amnesty, UN- American, so much for his leadership in this divisive issue

Answer 10

I disagree with you entirely, but this bill is bad far beyond legalization. I could conceive of a legalization plan I could support, with proper screening (not like this has) and proper security for the border and a visa exit tracking system (not like this has) and totally omitting the page 210-211 'sense of Congress to accellerate SPP' when Congress has never been even given the opportunity to debate and vote on SPP.

However, this bill fills none of my requirements for a good bill, would increase illegal immigration in my opinion, and would further destroy our already failing schools.

I am against it 100%, and I have written my own letters.

Answer 11

Are you an illegal alien? Heck no, or you couldn't have fought in a war! Did you come here illegally? Heck no, or you couldn't have fought in a war! Did you realize that 95% of the outstanding warrants in LA county are for ILLEGAL ALIENS? Did you realize that only 2% of illegals actually pick crops, their main excuse for coming here, but 26% of them live on WELFARE? Did you realize that 29% of the inmates in FEDERAL prison are ILLEGAL ALIENS? How, in the name of God, can making all illegals citizens benifit this country? You take that and smoke it a while and see if you still feel the same! This is MY country and if you want to live here, come here LEGALLY and I will welcome you with open arms! If not, stay the hell out!
