The Honorable Ms. Hutchison,
As a single parent raising a child on my own, I know the trials of everyday life. There is one thing though that has stuck in my mind for several years now, and that was when I took my daughter to register for preschool. I was told that she did not qualify to be in preschool. I asked the reason why, and was told I made too much money for her to qualify. Now remember I am a single parent struggling to make ends meet and I am told I make too much money. What really set me off was the preschool classes had quite a few non english speaking kids in them. I would just go to asume that these were probably kids of illegals from our area. Well here I am a tax paying citizen and am told my child cannot go to a school that my tax dollars pay for. But in those classes sit illegal children. So my child went to private preschool at an additional $110 a week out of my pocket.
Now I am being told our proud outstanding politicans want to give benifits so illegal kids can go to college. Again on my tax dollar. Texas allready gives illegals grants to go to our state colleges. Is that not against the law? Was that not part of the immigration act of 1986 to make it illegal to give illegals in state tuition? So now I sit here wondering how I will ever be able to send my own child to college. I am sure you will work hard to give my child the grants and help she needs when that time comes, just like her preschool right? You need to stand up for the legal citizens of this country and do the right thing. I am asking you to vote down any kind of DREAM act or any other AMNESTY bill. Your job is to represent the legal citizens of this nation, not the illegals. Remember you work for us and you can be fired on election day. The legal citizens of this great country have had enough of pandering to the illegals. Enforce the laws and close the borders.
Thank you ,

{{ And yes the local school board here knows who I am on a first name basis now after that happened. I still fume over that situation. They have seemed to change some of the rules this year. I finally got enough people around here to challenge them and make a difference.
