Immigration Enforcement Saves American Lives

To The Editors:

I am writing in response to the Mankato Free Press editorial that wrongly claims immigration enforcement is not a factor worthy of consideration in the horrific deaths of four young students in Cottonwood. Our organization, ALIPAC, represents many family members of victims of illegal aliens who now fight for immigration enforcement.

First and foremost, our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the lost children and I write today in the hopes that our message will lead to changes in Minnesota that will protect other American families from tragedies like this.

The Federal government is failing our citizens on an unprecedented level as the Executive branch refuses to adequately secure our borders and enforce our existing immigration laws. This has created an illegal immigration crisis in America and it is incumbent upon our state representatives to take action to enforce these laws.

The children lost in Cottonwood would be alive today if the Federal government or the state of Minnesota had enforced our existing immigration laws. Most crimes committed by illegal aliens are preventable crimes.

While legal immigrants commit fewer crimes than US citizens, they have shown a pattern of respect and reverence for US laws. Illegal aliens commit more crimes because they have intentionally bypassed the required background checks and engaged in a pattern of criminality.

While illegal aliens come from many nations and represent many races and cultures, they all display a wanton disregard for our laws and demonstrate a pattern of criminality is reinforced and strengthened by the fact they are shown they can break many of our laws without fear of enforcement.

The illegal alien driver responsible for these deaths broke a series of US laws long before she ran the stop sign and struck the bus.

It is time for the state of Minnesota to stand up on behalf of the majority of citizens that want action taken on every level of government to curtail and reverse illegal immigration. Many states are rushing to pass laws similar to the legislation in Arizona, Oklahoma, and Georgia. The fact that 40 states have passed some form of immigration enforcement laws illustrates the popular demand for such actions alongside polls showing super majorities support enforcement!

In an effort to prevent tomorrow's tragedies and save American lives, we hope Minnesotans will stand up and demand their state lawmakers take action now to protect lives, property, jobs, wages, and tax dollars in Minnesota from illegal immigration.

Excellent response W.

GREAT letter W!

Great letter...just insert the word "not" here:
