I got this in an email so i dont know of its validity or source but it was interesting with all the illegal alien happenings lately.
Subject: The best letter yet
This letter sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border
patrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being
spewed from the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible
representatives.
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 U.S. 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 U.S.
During
World War II Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S.
from
Mexico. During the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to the
U.S.
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 U.S. 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
U.S. 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.
