On Illegal Immigration Day Email Your Senators and Representatives
High gas prices, the war in Iraq, and the war on terrorism, etc. make up some of the most important issues of our day. But for the citizens of the U.S., illegal immigration ranks the highest.
Sure gas prices are high and it pisses us off that someone is making billions selling us a product we can't do without. In reality, fair or not, we can afford to pay a little more for our gas. In reality, part of the gas price crisis results from so many of us buying SUV's and other large, uneconomical vehicles. In reality, we, the public, and we, our government (especially Federal), have done next to nothing for the past 30 years to increase economic energy use and lessen dependency on foreign energy sources.
The war in Iraq and the war on terrorism continue to flounder. Hope lives for a positive outcome in Iraq but, clearly, the Bush administration, did not have its ducks in a row nor have the information it claimed to have had. The mission of establishing democracy in Iraq is spin. Who cares if they have democracy in Iraq and long as they are peaceful and practice basic human rights? We can't force democracy down the throats of the rest of the world. Plus, many cultures don't seem well suited for quick change to democracy.
Each year millions enter our country illegally thus making their first act in our country an illegal act, a crime. The business leaders and national politicians in our country have allowed this because it benefits them. The rich and powerful are able to and will continue to be able to live the insulated, protected, luxurious lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. Some even the power to prevent electric generating windmills because it spoils the view from their house. The rest of us can live next to factories and power plants but the rich and powerful must have pristine views.
In allowing illegal immigration, the Federal government fails to "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,"
Is it just to allow millions of immigrants to illegally enter our country while others wait for legal entry? Is it just for millions of illegal immigrants to take jobs and use private and public resources that should first be going to citizens?
How well is domestic tranquility being insured when our borders are not controlled nor protected? Is the general public being defended? Is allowing millions illegally into our country defending it? Are we promoting the general welfare of our country when we allow those from other countries to come and take what they can and either leave or stay and lessen the opportunities for our own citizens? Are we securing the blessings of liberty for our posterity? No, we're allowing the rich and powerful to give it to people whose presence in our country is a crime.
On Monday, apparently millions plan to demonstrate in support of what they believe is their right to enter our country illegally and take whatever they can. I will be working hard at my job and paying a significant amount of my income in taxes to the government that has failed my children and myself.
On Monday, I will also email my Congresswoman and Senators expressing my desire to have immigration limited to legal immigration, that our borders be controlled and that amnesty not be granted to illegal immigrants. If you do the same and spread the word we can make a much greater impact than the people walking in the streets not working.
