This letter, sent to Senator Frist, from a retired
border patrol agent has more common sense than all the
bull being spewed from the Senate, with the exception
of a few sensible representatives.
Anyway, this guy has it together and shows the
rhetoric for what it is.
Dear Senator Frist:
There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths
circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal
Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens.
1. Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S.
citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that
everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen.
Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain
citizens of their home countries while obtaining the
benefits offered by the United States such as
employment, medical care, in-state tuition, government
subsidized housing and free education for their
offspring. Their main attraction is employment and
their loyalty usually remains at home. They want
benefits earned and subsidized by middle class
Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits of
American residence without paying the price.
2. There are no jobs that Americans won't do.
Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans can't
take and still support their families. Illegal aliens
take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence
home, share expenses and send money to their home
country. There are no jobs that Americans won't do
for a decent wage.
3. Every person who illegally entered this nation
left a home. They are NOT homeless and they are NOT
Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries.
They come to send money to their real home as
evidenced by the more than
20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year
by illegal aliens.
These illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered
this nation in violation of the law and therefore
assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those
who brought their alien children assumed the
responsibility and risk on behalf of their children.
4. Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy.
Illegal aliens constitute less than 5% of the
workforce. However, they reduce wages and benefits
for lawful U.S. residents.
5. This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280
million native born Americans. While it is true that
this nation was settled and founded by immigrants
(legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not
a nation on this planet that was not settled by
immigrants at one time or another.
6. The United States is welcoming to legal
immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants by
definition. The US accepts more lawful immigrants
every year than the rest of the world combined.
7. There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote."
Hispanics are white, brown, black and every shade in
between. Hispanics are Republicans, Democrats,
Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents.
The so-called "Hispanic vote"
is a myth.. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the
Hispanic vote is a dead end.
8. Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States.
Since 1848 Mexicans have resented the United States.
During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies to
operate freely in Mexico to spy on the US
During World War II Mexico allowed the Axis powers to
spy on the US from Mexico.
During the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to
the US to operate freely.
The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and
applauded all across Mexico.
Today Mexican school children are taught that the US
stole California, Arizona, new Mexico and Texas If
you don't believe it, check out some Mexican textbooks
written for their schoolchildren.
9. Although some illegal aliens enter this country
for a better life, there are 6 billion people on this
planet. At least 1 billion of those live on less than
one dollar a day. If wanting a better life is a valid
excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then
let's allow those one billion to come to America and
we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation
overnight. Besides, there are 280 million native born
Americans who want a better life. I'll bet Bill Gates and
Donald Trump want a better life. When will the USA
lifeboat be full? Since when is wanting a better life
a good reason to trash another nation?
10. There is a labor shortage in this country. This
is a lie. There are hundreds of thousands, if not
millions, of American housewives, senior citizens,
students, unemployed and underemployed who would
gladly take jobs at a decent wage.
11. It is racist to want secure borders. What is
racist about wanting secure borders and a secure
America? What is racist about not wanting people to
sneak into America and steal benefits we have set
aside for legal aliens, senior citizens, children and
other legal residents? What is it about race that
entitles people to violate our laws, steal identities,
and take the American Dream without paying the price?
For about four decades American politicians have
refused to secure our borders and look after the
welfare of middle class Americans. These politicians
have been of both parties. A huge debt to American
society has resulted.
This debt will be satisfied and the interest will be
high. There has already been riots in the streets by
illegal aliens and their supporters. There will be
more. You, as a politician, have a choice to offend
the illegal aliens who have stolen into this country
and demanded the rights afforded to US
citizens or to offend those of us who are stakeholders
in this country. The interest will be steep either
way. There will be civil unrest. There will be a
reckoning.
Do you have the courage to do what is right for
America? Or, will you bow to the wants and needs of
those who don't even have the right to remain here?
There will be a reckoning. It will come in November
of this year, again in 2008 and yet again in 2010.
We will not allow America to be stolen by third world
agitators and thieves.
