Jobs Americans Won't Do? An Open Letter To President George W. Bush
From Peter Gadiel

George W. Bush
President of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, D.C.

Dear George:

You have often said that, because Mexicans are "doing jobs Americans won't do", you won't enforce the laws on immigration that you swore an oath to uphold.

I thought you needed some enlightenment, so the following is an actual, nearly word-for-word record conversation I had recently while filling my gas tank in Danbury, Connecticut.

At the next pump, a fellow was filling his truck's tank. On the door was the name of a landscaping business. I asked him if competition from competitors who hire illegal aliens was damaging his business.

With not another word from me, his volunteered response was:

"No, I used to get 'em through a contractor at $30.00 per hour. He'd get fifteen and they'd get fifteen. Then he disappeared. Now I get 'em direct. Fifteen per hour is a lot to pay for someone who doesn't speak English, doesn't have a social security card, isn't paying taxes and is here illegally."

Imagine George, all that information offered freely. To paraphrase our conversation:

Me: "How's business?"

Him: "I'm a crook evading the law, hiring other crooks and all together we evade immigration, income taxes, workmen's comp, unemployment taxes. And I'm mad because I'm not making more money."

George, isn't this a wonderful country? You refuse to enforce the law, and millions refuse to obey it.

It's just grand, isn't it?

Now, I know you'd call these landscaping jobs the sort that "Americans won't do." I guess that, because illegals who can evade taxes are doing them, for you that's proof of your statement.

But here's a surprise for you. Many years ago, I did that kind of workâ€â€

He never said that. It's not recommended to begin the first sentence of a letter with a lie.

"We want our Border Patrol agents chasing, you know, crooks and thieves and drug-runners and terrorists, not good-hearted people who are coming here to work," Mr. Bush said. "And therefore, it makes sense to allow the good-hearted people who are coming here to do jobs that Americans won't do a legal way to do

Jose, I suppose the thousands of web sites and journalists are all liars as well.

MopheadBlue,
Great Letter!

No. Only those who claim that the President said that he won't enforce laws that he swore to uphold.

Maybe he didn't actually SAY it, but his actions speak much louder than words.

And he certainly isn't speaking out about enforcing our immigration laws.

You mean this......


"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States."

Also:

not good-hearted people who are coming here to work," Bush said

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Mr. Bush is not very serious about illegal immigrants.
