Illegal immigrants know law better than we

July 2, 2011

Editor,

After reading about illegal immigrants being released from ICE, I started to think as Americans, what are we doing wrong? It came to me education is the key.

I, too, would like to have Access cards, free housing, medical, several thousand dollars in my pocket and be backed by the NAACP, ACLU and representatives in this country. If you want to educate yourself, get involved with an illegal immigrant.

I was involved with a Spanish woman for three years. She lost her visa and wanted me to marry her so she could stay in this country. I told her I may not be that smart, but I am not that stupid. This was after dating her for three months. I found her permanent residency card. When you have a card like this, you are entitled to mostly everything. She cannot vote because she is not a U.S. citizen. I helped her with English but when I wanted her to teach me Spanish, she would not.She did not want me to learn Spanish because then I would understand what her family was saying about me. She is very well educated.

This is why we Americans screw up. We trust our lawmakers and politicians with policies that we think are made for us. In the meantime, with the rise of illegal immigrants, all they see is an opportunity for more money and votes.

Let's face facts. If I got stopped for a traffic violation without a license or insurance, I would be arrested. If I do not pay the fines, I could go to jail and would be in the newspaper.

The best thing to do is to educate ourselves in the same manner an illegal immigrant does. The people and resources are here. It is how we as Americans apply ourselves to it. We are losing the battle on illegal immigration. This great government loves to screw the American people. It's time to screw the government back, but legally with its own policies. Look for loopholes, but most of all, sit down with an illegal immigrant who knows the laws better than we do.
