Letter from Congressman Joe Walsh
I received the following in the mail today. At least one of them gets it.
"Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about illegal immigration. I appreciate your thoughts on the issue and I look forward to having the opportunity to respond.
Illegal immigration is a serious and urgent problem. The unrestricted flow of illegal aliens continues to threaten national security and strain infrastructure and programs designed to serve American citizens. Currently, more than 10 million people have crossed into our country illegally, with no record, no accountability and no oversight. We have no idea who they are, where they are going and what they plan to do.
The Federal for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimate that illegal immigration costs the American taxpayer more than $100 billion per year. It also estimates that criminal aliens account for 29% of prisoners in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. They are the fastest growing segment of the federal prison population and too often are released back into society to commit violent crimes again. This situation is unacceptable. Illegal immigration is bankrupting our country and threatening the safety of American families. It cannot continue.
Congress' first priority must be sealing the border. The Border Patrol must have all the technology, resources and political support it needs to accomplish this task. Once the border has been secured, Congress can turn its attention to the illegal immigrants living within our borders.
But let me make it clear: I do not support Amnesty and will not vote for any bill in which it is any part of the solution.
If I can be of any further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. It is an honor and a privilege to serve you and the 8th district of Illinois in the United States House of Representatives.
I work for you,
Joe Walsh"
