Illegal immigrants don't deserve any rights
July 5, 2009

I'm writing about an article in the Courier News on July 1 about an illegal immigrant who was given the right to a pretrial program. If he is admitted into this pretrial program, all charges against him will be dropped. This is wrong. He is here illegally. End of case.

Every member of the appellate court who ruled that an illegal immigrant has the right to a pretrial intervention program should be fired and never be allowed to have any public office or judgeship ever again.

The illegal immigrant was stopped in Bound Brook by a police officer, found to have a fake driver's license and false ID. He admitted to being here in our country illegally. The reason he was stopped isn't what this writing is about. He is in our country illegally. That is what it is about.

Shame on Judge Edward Coleman who granted the right to appeal the original rejection of his admission into the pretrial program. Shame on the lawmakers of our towns, states and federal government for allowing illegals any rights at all. These laws giving rights to illegals hinder the prosecution and deportation of these illegals. Laws should be for the protection of the legal citizens of our country.

If you are an American citizen born in this country of legal American parents and/or an immigrant who is here legally, then you have rights. Otherwise, the only right an illegal should have is the right to a plane ride back to the country they came from. And, that country should be paying all the expenses to have him sent back.

When is the federal government going to see that much of the trouble in our country is because of illegals? Our Border Patrol forces should be increased and should be armed. Anyone crossing our borders illegally should be warned that they will be shot if they do not turn back. Mexico has armed border guards on their borders. I guess these guards are asleep when the traffic is going north into the USA.

Our schools should be able to demand that foreigners coming in to our schools are here legally and foreign students coming in to our colleges must be thoroughly checked and monitored to make sure that they truly are students and are not here for terrorist purposes.

We are the United States of America, for legal Americans. We should not have to give in to every group that comes to our country and starts demanding that things be their way.

The Revolution was fought and the Declaration of Independence was signed so that we would have our own English-speaking country. We shouldn't have to demand that our country belong to us, and we should not have to press 1 to hear English.
