Stop illegal immigration while we still can

Independence, MO —

I am not a cold hearted racist or bigot, just a caring, responsible American who has great concern for our country and respects those who obey the laws of our country and enter legally according to those laws.Illegal immigration has absolutely nothing to do with racism, but has everything to do with the laws of our nation. Illegal immigrants have always been portrayed as the victims, when in reality the American people, our culture and our country are the real victims.

Illegal immigrants, particularly those from Mexico, have no allegiance to this country and they’re realistically not here to take part in the American dream, but in reality to take advantage of the American dream at our expense. Check out You Tube “Aztlan Rising.”

There are many obvious and necessary reasons why it’s not an easy task to become a legal American citizen. Compromise in any way, shape or form is wrong and no one should ever be rewarded for committing an illegal act and consequently destroying our culture, economy and country. We do not need comprehensive immigration reform; we just need to enforce laws already on the books, and our existing immigration quotes are already very generous. Under no circumstances should citizenship to this country be for sale or barter such as fines, or in exchange for serving in the military. Only true-blooded legal Americans should protect America.

Local and state governments need to quit putting all the blame for lack of enforcement on each other and the federal government and take the task and responsibilities upon themselves and take on the federal government if that’s what it takes, and states need to band together. Our elected representatives want us to believe or feel they have crafted various tough/harsh legislation and have represented that to their constituents, when in reality that same legislation is very ambiguous and full of loopholes. I’ve studied it (Missouri HB1549) and we need to demand that our legislators make needed changes. We don’t want them to tell us why they can’t, we want to hear how they will. That’s why the were elected, and you tell me, has illegal immigration gotten better or worse through the years?

The following are some of the reasons why we need to get laws changed and loopholes closed:

■ Our federal government, state and local budget problems wouldn’t exist to the extent they do if we weren’t spending massive amounts of our tax dollars on illegal immigrants.

■ Our unemployment rate could and would be dissolved if 30 million people weren’t in our country illegally for Americans to compete with. It’s a fallacy that Americans won’t do the jobs that illegal immigrants are doing. Americans were doing those jobs before they were taken over by illegal immigrants.

The statement that American won’t do the jobs has been stated so many times for such a long time that some Americans, including their elected representatives have come to believe it. The truth of the matter is that various businesses and industries have exploited illegal immigrants and at the same time forced legal American citizens to compete for those jobs offering lower and lower wages and less and less in benefits. It’s also a fallacy and insult that we need to grant special visas to non-citizens because we don’t have American citizens with a particular technological experience.

■ Illegal immigrants have taken over a majority of construction related industries, various factories, processing plants, fast food and restaurants and won’t stop there.

■ Illegal immigrants have taken advantage of every social program established even through they’re entitled to none of them.

■ Illegal immigrants have overwhelmed, decimated and compromised our health care system. Illegal immigration is the primary cause in the rise of polio, head lice, measles and mumps, several of which were once eradicated in this country.

■ Illegal immigrant children have overwhelmed, decimated and compromised our public school system and bilingual classes have become disruptive and costly.

■ Illegal immigrants have overwhelmed our judicial system and overwhelmed our prison system.

We shouldn’t condone parents who knowingly illegally sneak their children into our country or give birth in our country and consequently use them like winning lottery tickets with the intent and consequence of taking advantage of legal American citizens and their children. Why should our children suffer the consequences? La Raza (The Race) in essence is a self-proclaimed racist organization that has permeated itself in various levels of our government for the sole purpose of trying to give credibility to millions of people who are in our country illegally and have no true allegiance to our country.

People who have entered our country illegally are guilty of breaking one of our most sacred laws and have absolutely no right to be here and are consequently due nothing. The Obama administration has refused to enforce our key immigration laws. Some Republicans seem to favor illegal immigration to provide a cheap labor source for various businesses and also seem to lack the nerve and the guts to actually solve our illegal immigration problems. Democrats seem to be for the acceptance for illegal immigration so they can increase their voter base and further their liberal agenda. Both parties seem to be more concerned about their political careers than the well-being of their country or constituents.

The state needs to mandate that all municipalities need to verify that all business license holders do not employ illegal immigrants and that E-Verify needs to be mandatory for all businesses and workers with no exceptions regardless of the number of employees and all employees must be reported, no excuses. All forms of businesses need to be discouraged from catering and pandering to illegal immigrants. We need to discourage various organizations from allowing/accepting illegal immigration within the business community.

It needs to be unlawful for schools/learning institutions, car lots, banks/loan institutions, public housing and rental property owners from doing business with someone unless they can prove lawful presence in this country. The existence of the “turning a blind eye” sanctuary cities must be eliminated. It needs to be unlawful to register/license in Missouri any motor vehicle without a valid Missouri driver’s license.

Yes, the Hispanic population has exponentially increased in our country; however if you took illegal immigrants and their anchor babies out of the equation, that definitely wouldn’t be the case. Our country has literally been invaded while lawmakers looked on and continued to kick the can down the road. Elected representatives need to face and start reporting the facts. In reality it has been documented and reported that there are upwards of 30 million people in our country illegally and not the federal government numbers of 12 million.

Elected representatives have to, in a manner of speaking, take off the gloves and hit back twice as hard as the pro-illegal immigration groups. Past federal, state and local legislators/lawmakers are primarily responsible for the illegal invasion of our country. A typical elected representative’s scapegoat statement is that we’ve got to secure our borders first. However, the correct answer is we need to simultaneously deport those in our country illegally.

Another common statement is that we can’t deport large numbers of illegal immigrants, when the facts are we’ve never tried, and we will never control our borders unless our elected representatives become truly serious to resolve the issue. All law enforcement agencies and government entities need to have the authority to determine if someone is in our state or country illegally, and that’s not racial profiling.

All elected representatives have taken an oath to defend the Constitution and protect and defend our country from all enemies, foreign and domestic, which is paramount to their public service. Elected representatives can’t be intimated by the federal government, liberal groups, ACLU or La Raza and must remember they were sent to office to do the right thing for their legitimate constituents, community, state and nation, not to win a popularity contest or pander to people who are in our country illegally.

If we don’t solve this illegal immigration issue, any and all past, present or future legislative accomplishments will be for nothing because we will have lost our country. We are truly in the fight of our lives and for the survival of our great nation and there can be no excuses for not doing the right thing and what needs to be done. It’s not too late to do what we must to save our country. Do something, contact your elected representative now!
