American Voices On Immigration Policies

May 3, 2006

To: 
U. S. Senate, House of Representatives, President and Vice President

We, the American citizens who elected you to look out for the best interests of our great country have had enough. It is appalling to see illegal immigrants protesting the laws of our country, in our cities, and it is even more disturbing to think that their voices might even sway the way our laws are written. It is now time for OUR voices to be heard…

1. We want you to make sure our borders are secure. Did we learn nothing on September 11, 2001? If well meaning neighbors from our south or north can access this country in such vast numbers, how many terrorists have crossed our borders? Your utmost concern should be the security of our country and the safety of its citizens.

2. We want immigration reform but only after there has been time spent studying the effects America’s swelling population will have on this country’s natural resources, schools, social services, jobs, etc. Responsible leaders would make sure they have all the facts before making any major, life altering decisions. To rush a bill through to appease some special interest groups is asinine. If anything, the flow of new people allowed into this country should be slowed down until some of these effects are known. Again, the existing citizens of the USA are supposed to be of your utmost concern.

3. We do not want the illegal immigrants that are here now to be granted any type of amnesty. We citizens are not rewarded for breaking the law and evading authorities. Why don’t you prove to us that you can enforce the existing laws of this nation effectively before you begin writing new laws that can have such overwhelming effects on America’s population?

If the numbers of protesters impress you and you see passing some type of illegal immigrant amnesty bill as a way of gaining more votes, then think about this. We who sign this petition already have the right to vote. Even though we have not yet taken to the streets in mass protests, we are united in our love of our country and the want to protect and preserve our country for our children. We will vote for those who observe the same values and beliefs in the upcoming elections.

Sincerely,

How Others feel about this....

These people should not have any say about anything in this country. They are here illegally. They should not be entitled to anything from us. They don't like the way things are here, well go home. No one asked them to come here. Schools over crowded? Well send the illegals home & they won't be. Unemployed? Send the illegals home & you'll be able to get a job. These people should not have ANY rights. It's time for LEGAL citizens of the US to stand up for OUR RIGHTS. I'm tired of always trying to be politically correct. What about us? What about what offends us? Time for them to be deported at their own expense, not the tax payers. -Patricia Baggs

People who enter this country without authorization have ALREADY broken the law!! Why should they receive special treatment? Why shouldn't they be prosecuted? Why should they receive ANY type of benefits/services available to United States Citizens? Why aren't INS agents at these "spontaneous" demonstrations doing their JOB and arresting these illegal aliens and shipping them back to where they came from? We need to build a wall between the United States and Mexico/Canada to prevent ANY unauthorized border crossings. Border security should be priority #1. NO MORE ILLEGAL ALIENS!! They are not "undocumented workers". They are ILLEGAL!! Send them home!! If they can't respect the rule of law, we don't want them and don't need them in our country. If they enter, or try to enter this country illegally and are caught and sent back to their country, they should be permenantly banned from applying for U.S. Citizenship. -David Wilson, Orlando, FL

No country can afford to allow itself to be overrun by all who want to take up residence there. It is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico with punishment of 2 yrs. in prision! -Janice Tubman, Sanford, FL

It took me 18 years to get me and the rest of my family here and you think you are entitled to what? Sorry you are not America. -Hildago Gualupe, CT.

Don't talk to me about "national security" and protecting the lives of Americans when you can still find ID's and SSN's at 8th and Alvarado in Los Angeles and the police drive by like it isn't happening. Don't talk about National Security and about revoking our rights to privacy in our homes and on our phones and then support illegal immigrants. Stop talking about protecting us from terrorists when you are not even CONCERNED with our borders. Your war on terror is a big fat LIE, and everybody knows it. -John Sandoval

I believe in the idea of America as a melting pot, but I also believe that persons from other countries should be required to show that they are able and willing to observe the laws of our country and states first. This begins by following the law to become an American Citizen....PERIOD. If immigrents are unwilling to folow the law to get here, why should we believe that they will follow the law when they are living, working, and enjoying the benefits of being here? -Alva Ingram, Lilburn, GA

DEPORT ILLEGALS and keep em there,Americans DIED for our boarders! KEEP THEM CLOSED! -Jim Demnyan, Pittsburgh, Pa

To those of us who waited our turn in line to come to the USA, this is a slap in the face. Secure our borders now, no guess worker/amnesty, deport all illegals. -Lizette Cartaya Koszty, Kingman, AZ

There are enough loop holes in the current system that if they really wanted to be citizens they should have done it by now.We have enough legal citazens sucking benefits from the system we don't need any more.If you live hear you need to speak english or go home. -Sierra Falmo, seattle,WA

No one in this country illegally or their children should be eligible for governmental assistance of any kind. Additionally, our school system shouldn't be burdened with teaching the children of illegal immigrants. Please, stop the importation of poverty to this country. What you're doing to working class citizens in the United States is disgraceful and will not be tolerated by the voting public. Deport all illegal immigrants now! -James M. Welch, North Carolina

I am an Immigrant myself, and I do not agree at all with these illegal immigrant suporters protest. Illegal immigrants should not be granted American Citizenship. How dare they come into this country illegally, went out to protest,, boycott, wasting our tax money, flied their Mexican flag, rasing their spanish banner, changed our National Anthem to Spanish, and demand us to accept them. This is too much. These illegal immigrant and the people who support them have no respect for this country at all. Enough is enough. All these need to be stopped. Illegal immigrant should not be rewarded by granting them status. If they got caught, they will need to be deported. -Benjamin Mills, San Diego, CA

The only flag to be flown here is the American flag, the Star Spangled Banner sung in English, and if you are here illegally, you need to be sent home. It would be so if you were in any other country. Should we feel bad for them? Yes, their country and government are poor, as many other countries. We want our jobs back, I don't want to be required to be bi-lingual to get a job. I shouldn't have to learn a FORIEGN language to get a job in my own country! Please listen to your own people, the people who voted for you and are counting on you to take the best care of us. United we stand, the people of your nation, not Mexico's or any other. We want the problem fixed right, we want our country safe and prosperous, if their illegal no matter where their from, send them home. -Stephen Smith, Oregon

Though not a US Citizen, I am in this country as a legal resident alien. I feel the pain of all Citizens. All aliens legally admitted have to go through long hardships to be admitted into this country, work hard for this country, pay taxes and obey law, but these crooked ILLEGALS, broke the law, entered the country illegally and now demand rights as though they deserve it. It is a shame that for political mileage, US government is helpless. Why can the government, just round them up and deport them back to whereever they came. ILLEGALS suck the benefit which both the Citizens and the Legal aliens contribute to. I am with you Americans. -SC
