Send Illegals Back

July 5, 2007

I voted for George Bush in both elections and have supported the Republican Party ever since Thomas Dewey ran against Harry Truman. Unless they do something about all of these illegals that have invaded our country, I will not be supporting the Republican Party ever again!

There are now an estimated 12 million (probably more like 20 million) and if President Bush has his way he will make them all legal. Any way you cut it, that’s rewarding lawbreakers and amounts to amnesty. I am fed up with these sorry politicians. They keep telling us that we can’t send them back; of course, we can. The best way is to cut off the money.

I was part of the U.S. Army in 1944 and I kept hearing people say that Adolph Hitler’s Third Reich cold last 1,000 years. The U.S. Army and Navy, along with their allies, foiled that notion in less than one year, and at the same time started to take down the entire Japanese Empire. Guess who won that conflict? If we accomplished all that back in the 1940’s, certainly, we can send 12 million illegals back to their homelands.

Since that time, we in this country have had to deal with many obstacles and if we depend on the current crop of politicians to do anything at all about this problem, I think we are lost.

I think about our own military who will come back from the war, some who have given their lives to serve their country, some who will bear the scars of battle for the rest of their lives. I think we owe them more than a country filled with lawbreakers, which illegals are.
