Ten Easy Questions (and Answers) on Illegal Aliens

1) "They are here" . . .
Yes! . . . But when someone trespasses on your property or enters your home "uninvited" you have a right to ask them to leave.

2) "How will they get home" . . .
The same way that they came . . . one by one, on their "own dime".

3) "Who will do the work" . . .
Who did the work before? These are not skilled jobs requiring years of education or training. There are millions of unemployed Americans who will "do the work", for a fair wage.

4) "We will have to pay someone else, more" . . .
Perhaps . . . but if so, it will reflect the true value to society of the work. If I remember correctly, slavery was outlawed in this country 140 years ago.

5) "They are nice people" . . .
Some are some aren't. Many of the gangs that now terrorize our towns and cities are illegals.

6) "Aren't we a nation of immigrants"?
We are. But by definition, immigrants are individuals who are here legally. They've waited in line (sometimes for 10 years). We accept (to become citizens) hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world every year.

7) "What will happen to them"
They will return to their country and if they wish to immigrate to the America, they will "get in line".

8) "I don't have any working for me . . . Why should I care"?
They take jobs from your most vulnerable and poor neighbors. They lower wages for menial jobs. They overcrowd your hospitals and emergency rooms (raising your health insurance). They overcrowd your schools (raising your property taxes). If made legal, they will eventually compete with you for scarce Social Security dollars. Many don't pay any property taxes. Many don't pay any kind of taxes. Many send most of their pay to Mexico ($100 Billion) instead of spending it in this country . . . Need more reasons?

9) "What should I do"?
Simply don't hire people who you don't know (are here legally). Ask local businesses not to hire illegals. Vote for politicians who are against amnesty. Don't remain silent!

10) "Why would they leave"?
If they have no work . . . they will go home. They can be unemployed in Mexico.

Immigrants by Rosemary LaBonte

From: "David LaBonte" My wife Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the Orange County 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. (Signed) Dave LaBonte

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 Statute 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 1900s 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 Statute 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.

"If you're voting, you're supposed to be a U.S. citizen," Tancredo spokesman Will Adams said Friday.
"If you're a U.S. citizen, you're supposed to be proficient in English."
What more needs to be said? Good for Tancredo.
So, having only ballots printed in English would discriminate against no one except non-citizens who illegally try to vote.
I don't know what those idiots who voted for this bill could be thinking, other than catering to the non-citizen vote.
They should be ashamed.

WELL HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF POLITICIANS WHO DONT HAVE ANY GUTS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY RICH PEOPLE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE THESE ILLITERATE ILLEGAL MEXICANS SUCH A SPECIAL CLASS OF CITIZENS.
THESE MEXICANS BETTER REALIZE THAT THE RICH AND POWERFUL FOLKS IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE PLACED THEM IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY BETTER NOT EVER DESIRE TO BECOME MORE THAN LOW LEVEL LABORS WHO ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR PEANUTS.
THE MINUTE THE MEXICANS STEP OUT OF THE BOX THEY HAVE BEEN PLACED AND START ASKING FOR A BETTER LIFE AND HIGHER WAGES THE RICH AND POWERFUL WHO PROTECT THEM NOW WILL SHIT ALL OVER THEM IN A HEART BEAT.
TOM TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT.

Adams said that a lot of lawmakers agreed with Tancredo but then voted for the bill.
"It takes a lot of political courage to put your neck out on this issue," he said.
"These things get demagogued, particularly when you're dealing with race."

Norman Ornstein, a political analyst with the American Enterprise Institute, said many conservatives thought "changes were in order" for the act but balked at blocking its renewal.

Comment: The setting is becoming clear, "North American Union Open Borders"
