With illegal immigrants, leaders are failing us
January 2, 2011 Opinion
The world knows what a mess the drug cartel has made of Mexico due to the lack of strong leadership and willingness to do the right thing for their country.
Our country is facing a similar situation with our leadership that is more focused on getting re-elected than doing what is right for our country.
Most of us know that it's absurd to be giving citizenship to the anchor babies of the illegal aliens, but it still applies.
We also know that English should be established as our official language as many other countries have done and that the employers who are hiring illegal aliens should be prosecuted.
The nonsense must stop before we lose our country for lack of leadership.
Let's hope the GOP will use better common sense than was being used by the Democrats in the last administration.
Most of our elected officials from Oregon have failing grades on the immigration issue.
Many illegal aliens are demanding more at every level while too many of our own citizens do nothing. Where do you fit in this picture?

If they did the right thing in the first place, re-election would not be even a question no matter what party their with!
NObama' voter base has shrunk to just illegals, and after what Reid did in Nevada nothing would surprise me! 8O
