The New Hoosiers

Your recent article. "The New Hoosiers," is the most recent and clear evidence that there is no reason to renew my subscription to your magazine. While pretending to be balanced, it does not begin to address the many problems nor offer solutions associated with illegal immigration. It was a typical "feel good" article.

As a black American (not African-American), I am sick of people saying that immigration needs to be reformed to permit illegal immigrants to become legal. What needs to be reformed is our commitment to enforcing the laws we have and protecting our sovereignty.

The whole idea that we should just turn a blind eye to people who have committed crimes is beyond ludicrous. Of course, the apologists for illegal immigrants never mention all of the criminals, gang members, drug lords and terrorists who also cross the same border. That just talk about the myth of all the hard-working illegal immigrants doing jobs that Americans won't do - never mentioning that many legal citizens do those jobs, but are unwilling to do them at the pay being offered to illegals. Only after businesses destroyed the wage rate and work conditions with policies sanctioned by the national government did some Americans not want to do some of those jobs. And the businesses did not care since the national policies allowed them to either export the jobs overseas or import workers illegally.

It is not our responsibility to solve the problems of a corrupt Mexican government, who refuses to provide for its citizens and who would rather export their poverty problems across the border with the complicit help of the American government. In the end, it is all about money, and the people at the bottom of the pyramid are getting crushed by these policies that breed unemployment, schools and hospitals crowded with non-english speaking illegals and heightened criminal activity
