Thread: Open Letter to Governor Schwarzenegger

July 26, 2008

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814


Dear Governor:

Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) has recently written you with suggestions for dealing with the huge budget problems that confront you and the people of California.

Rep. Tancredo correctly points out that many billions of dollars are being spent to provide public services to illegal aliens, people who should not even be in America or California, and whom most assuredly are not entitled to feed at the public trough.

This past week, you proposed to reduce the income of 200,000 state employees in order to end the budget impasse. Your proposal would force state employees to live on the federal minimum wage, currently $6.55 an hour.

As you are aware, state employees are American citizens who have mortgages to pay, children to educate, and lives to live. Moreover, state employees are public servants, rather than public sponges, as is the case with illegal aliens.

Furthermore, recent events in San Francisco have made it tragically clear that the damage inflicted by illegal aliens is not limited to pilfering state resources.

Specifically, on June 22 an illegal alien from El Salvador, named Edwin Ramos, allegedly shot and killed an American man and his two sons after an argument at a traffic light.

Ramos, a twice-convicted felon, should have been deported years ago.

However, because San Francisco is a Sanctuary City, Ramos was allowed to remain in The City where he snuffed out the lives of three Americans.

From this incident and the current state budget fiasco ensues a critical question:

Why are American lives and taxpayer dollars being sacrificed in order to shield illegal aliens?

With all due respect from one whom has voted for you twice, purging the funds spent on illegal aliens is far more compassionate and responsible than punishing American citizens who work to benefit the public.

In addition, removing illegal aliens from the public trough would have the added benefit of causing these uninvited, unwelcome interlopers to self-deport, while at the same discouraging millions of others from coming here in the first place.

Forcing illegal aliens to leave our beautiful state would make our home a safer, healthier environment for all American citizens.

I encourage you to adopt the suggestions provided by Rep. Tancredo.

California must not raise taxes or take other punitive actions against American citizens while ignoring the financial and criminal damage inflicted by illegal aliens.


Sincerely,

WOW

LOVE IT

Why are American lives and taxpayer dollars being sacrificed in order to shield illegal aliens?

Probably for the same reasons that the FDA not only devastated American tomato farmers but also callously endangered American lives to protect one Mexican pepper farmer. I wish I knew what the heck Mexico is holding over Booooshys head.

Great letter.

Arnie, start representing the citizens of California, instead of foreign squatters from other countries who have invaded your state.

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger.

In regard to Aaron McLear's response to Tom Tancredo's letter, which suggested cutting benefits to illegal immigrants, as a way of saving money and helping the state budget deficit.:

Aaron McLear said that Tom Tancredo should stick to worrying about about California being paid, by the Federal Government, for the incarceration of the illegal immigrants in California State Prisons..

Aaron, please correct me if I am wrong, but as i recall, Calfiornia had the opportunity, as all states did, to deport 17,000 criminal illegal immigrants from California's State Prisons, and even at Federal expense, but chose not to do so.. In fact, one of our CA legislators attempted to initiate a bill to do just that, but the bill was stopped in committee by the Hispanic Caucus, no doubt..

Seems to me, that iif California is going to continue to be willingly directed by the Hispanic Caucus,with respect to illegal immigrants, then California should be willing to accept the entire cost of incarcerating criminal illegal immigrants.

Of course the side effect of this action is to drive more California taxpayers to leave the state, as it rapidly transitions into Mexifornia.

Californians are sick and tired of being overrun by the invasion of illegal immigrants, with our State's governor being unwilling to do anything to stop it.

Sincerely,
Increasingly disenchanted with California politics.
