From a very angry American,

Before I get into this long-winded conversation about immigration, let me say that I don’t have a problem with anyone coming to the country to better their life and the lives of their family as long as they enter legally. Attempting to conform us to their beliefs by wanting Happy Holidays, Holiday Trees, and wanting to take Under “God” out of our daily lives doesn’t indicate to me that they appreciate their newfound freedoms.

I do have a problem with the ones who refuse to learn our ways, language and proper entry to the U.S.; after all, I thought they came here to live the “American Dream”! Seems the least they would do is to assimilate to the American ways and language. The ones, who come break our laws, attempt to change our religious values, complain about the American way aren’t here because they respect our ways. These are the ones, that don’t respect us and aren’t here to live the American Dream, but to burden the American Dream. They are here for the free handouts our government and liberals hand them. During the same time they are crying, they are sending money earned from tax-free and free medical care from the jobs taken from Americans back to their country. How the Hell is that helping OUR economy?

Yeah… we have a bunch of immigrants (legal and illegal) marching in the streets across the country screaming because we Americans are getting sick and tired of continually losing jobs, rights, and lives. This uncontrolled access is costing the American blue-collar workers more than it will ever cost the politicians, corporations, and small business owners that benefit from illegal aliens. These companies benefit by paying reduced wages and little benefits if any to these illegal aliens. President Bush says that the illegals are taking jobs Americans don’t want. I don’t know of any sane American that wants or can afford to work at half the wages and no benefits while supporting a growing family and growing cost of living in the U.S.

Because of the criminals that come in groves across the uncontrolled borders and the criminal act of hiring the same by companies in the attempt to show larger profits, our economy is showing gains, but our blue-collar workers are losing.

Yeah it all boils down to the rich getting richer as with everything else… yet Americans who were born here or went through the proper channels to be citizens try to work here continue to lose. I just quit a company in North Carolina after 4 years of employment. Why…? Because the owner of the company refused to get health care for his employees. Why…? Because the majority of his workforce is Hispanic and receive free medical because of their immigration status. Not only do they have free medical, they receive tax breaks and more. I don’t because I was born here. When is enough, going to be ENOUGH? What is it going to take for us to make the lawmakers and the leaders of this country realize that the American public has had enough? I suppose if Americans got out and protested it might make a difference… oops! I’m sorry we don’t have enough time… we’re too damn busy working 2 or 3 jobs to pay our bills and the medical bills of our family, not to mention the medical bills, law enforcements efforts, and food bills of the illegal immigrants.

Not more than 3 years ago my brother who worked and paid taxes the majority of his life had to fight tooth and nail to get help. Only after hiring an attorney was he able to get help after being blinded from a serious illness that nearly took his life. Yet, illegal and legal immigrants who come to the states have our government and liberals holding out free medical passes and numerous tax breaks while my brother and many others struggle to live on a very limited income because our governmental system is too burdened to help the deserving.

Listening to the television today I heard an immigrant say that it was unfair that we criminalize the illegal entry into America, with the same breath he likened our forefathers immigration to what’s happening today. I have difficulty seeing the relation as our forefathers learn to speak English and the values for which this country was built upon. I think we ought to go to his home, cut a hole through his fence, sneak into his back yard and set up house keeping. Once we are there, we need to try to change his religious beliefs and tell his boss we’ll work for half the salary. When he attempts to talk to us, speak a different language and even though we live in his back yard refuse to speak his language or attempt to learn his ways.

President Bush says that the influx of immigrants will allow unwanted jobs to be filled and almost the same breath he said something about illegal immigrants being doctors and company executives and taking on more technical jobs. I agree with his theory… I too would work for less money if I were allowed to have the same free medical and tax breaks they receive, not to mention the minority status. If I were a company owner would want the illegal immigration to continue because of the money I could save in medical, retirement, and other benefits that would be required by true American employees. It’s totally ludicrous and I fail to understand why the majority isn’t stomping mad that our leader made such a statement. I guess the president just doesn’t care about the little man but cares only about the big corporations who can hire an immigrant at half or less than they could hire an American.

The reason why an American refuses to work certain jobs is that the job doesn’t pay what it should to make an earnest living. Major corporations and politicians who benefit from major contributions to the politician’s personal cause should be protecting OUR interests. But they know as long as they have a continued flood of immigrants with half the expenses of the average American flowing into the country unabated then we Americans will continue to have difficulty finding a job. Eventually you will be lucky to find a job that pays much over minimum wage because the corporations will continue to lower wages until only the illegal immigrants can afford to work without benefits.

Spitting mad that all of us aren’t marching towards the White House from every corner of the U.S.
