Preserve & Protect

Out of the box let me state that I am a staunch Republican. I supported and voted for the re-election of our President. However, that does not mean that I am part of some Kool-Aid group that will be led anywhere. I firmly believe our President and some of the members of Congress are far too lenient regarding preserving and protecting our borders and the direction they are heading is all wrong.

How can we just stand by idly while in Mexico they print comic books on how to enter the U.S. illegally? How can we just continue to allow the virtual take over of our border states by illegal immigrants? Not undocumented aliens. Illegal aliens or immigrants.

In the aftermath of 9/11 and the continuing war on terrorism it is vital for us to protect our borders. Not just because of the influx of cheap labor but because of the potential terrorist who enters this country illegally.

As Pat Buchanan stated: During the 45 years leading up to the Immigration Act of 1965, 10 million immigrants came to the U.S. and were successfully integrated into American culture. But the onset of mass immigration since the late 60s has overwhelmed our ability to assimilate. This year, 1.3 million more immigrants will pour into the U.S. - 400,000 of them illegal aliens. If America is to survive as one nation, we must stem this tide to mend the melting pot and assimilate the 28 million foreign-born already living within our borders.

Why does the President continue to push a policy of one illegal for one job? Basically granting legal immigration status to some just because they want to work in the U.S. This is not even a quid pro quo policy with Mexico. A U.S. citizen who might want to work in Mexico and who may seek some social services from the Mexican government is very quickly shown the border as they are ushered out of the country. Why do we have to be different?

I am not against immigration but it should be controlled and legal. We all need to write, email, or telephone our Congressman or Senator and let them know how we feel on this very important and pending decision. http://www.house.gov/writerep/ for you Congressman and http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm for your Senator.
