Immigrants are poised to take over

May 13, 2007

I would venture to say that if all legal Americans rallied together in this state and voiced our opinion on all of the illegals here, we could get something done about moving them out.

The papers and media in general aren't reaching enough people. If a ballot could be passed around like a census is, then Congress would have to act on it. Maybe even a statewide mass mailer.

These illegals aren't here to take the jobs other people don't want. They are in the main work stream driving the cost of labor down, taking good jobs away from us and earning American money to send home to Mexico. Everyone knows that they only have to work here for just under 10 years and can go back to Mexico and live like kings for the rest of their lives. I have to work for 30 years to just get by on a meager pension.

This invasion needs to stop because one day these people will control the vote, and you and I will be on the street starving to death.
