Baca has it all wrong

How wonderful to read two articles about lawmakers in Congress who are introducing bills to abolish birthright citizenship for children born in America to illegal alien parents and to stop taxpayer funding of in-state college tuition for illegal aliens.

As correctly pointed out, these two practices are powerful magnets to attract and keep illegal aliens in our country.

Unfortunately, there is a lawmaker in our midst who is constantly standing against the American citizens while fighting for illegal aliens.

Congressman Joe Baca thinks the first bill is "unconstitutional, divisive, and incites anger."

In actuality, this bill restores the rule of law in this country, protects America's sovereignty, and upholds our immigration system of having to be invited into our country.

As for the second bill, Joe Baca agrees with the viewpoint that students who "work hard and play by the rules shouldn't be punished for wanting a better life," referring to illegal aliens.

Baca needs to examine the words.

These illegal aliens are not playing by America's rules. They are in our country illegally.

Baca goes on to say that if we don't let them into college, then the burden of paying for them falls on the taxpayer.

What kind of convoluted thinking is this?

If we got serious about denying illegal aliens jobs, denying them college admission, and deporting illegal aliens, no U.S. taxpayer would have the burden to care for them at all.

The article goes on to say that Baca wants to put high school graduates on a fast track to citizenship because it would reduce our dropout rate.

Is he kidding?

The article goes on to quote an illegal alien student who says that he couldn't continue his studies if the bill becomes law because illegal immigrants can't legally work nor get government financial aid. What rich irony!

Baca wants to fill college seats with illegal aliens, who after taking U.S. citizen taxpayer money and taking our children's seats, can't even legally work in the United States!
