Immigration Laws or Lack Thereof

By A. Woodbury, Fairplay

In my opinion we don’t need more laws to protect our country for Americans and their rights as citizens. There are already plenty of laws on the books.

What we need are dedicated officers to enforce the laws as they are written today. It would be even better if we could respond retroactively and send them all back if they don’t meet the criteria for citizenship. These people are breaking the law and need to be treated accordingly. I don’t care how bad off their life was in their own country, we are not responsible for their welfare either figuratively or literally. Since America was founded we have had armies fighting for our freedoms and rights as citizens. We have earned these lives we live in this free country. It isn’t right that we should be inundated with foreigners who refuse to obey our laws, or speak our language and work for Americans who break the laws by employing them. They take from the mouths of babes that which is not rightfully theirs. They receive medical attention when US citizens w/o insurance can’t get the help they need. I’d rather see socialized medicine for American citizens before we let this continue. Obviously, the bleeding heart liberal portion of America is allowing this siege to take place. I wouldn’t doubt that the fools think they can make citizens of them in time for voting in 2008. These outlaws would certainly be beholding to someone.

Sending them back would be much more economical than dealing with them. These people are breaking the law and we should hold that thought. Any other person breaking the law ends up in jail. Since there are so many and the burden is affecting the lives of Americans more every day, I think it makes sense to send them back where they came from no matter how they beg or how pathetic they are.

They don’t belong here.

If they sneak across the border they don’t have the proper papers to be employed. How could they possibly pay fines. What good does a fine do anyway? Most assuredly they connect with inside outlaws who produce false identification for them. This is another area where enforcing current laws could make some difference. We don’t need more government we need effective enforcement. The reason the numbers have gotten so high is because we are enabling them. That same liberal sector feels bad for their plight and doesn’t see what it is doing to our society. We are being inundated with problems. My pet peeve is having to choose to speak English when I call the phone company. I’m a natural born American and I have always spoken English, as do all my family and friends. I resent that these outlaws are able to make this type of invasive change in my life. The menu should ask that you press one for a language other than English. When they bring their children it adds to the burden on our education funding. Already that money doesn’t go far enough because the majority of it is spent on administration. With language barriers it becomes impossible for American children to get what they need. If we have to change all the rules and books to accommodate these aliens we are taking even more from our own children. It is not legal. It is not what we pay taxes for. They should be required to read and speak English as immigrating adults and before the children can attend school they should have a working knowledge of the English language. We can’t afford what we are trying to do for our own people, how can we possibly take on this kind of burden? America is a free democratic society. We shouldn’t be extending the socialistic arm to these people. It isn’t our responsibility to make things right for them. Where they come from things must be difficult but that is not a worry for us.

They cross the border because people in charge are turning their heads the other way for bribes or favors. These ‘officials’ should be jailed also. Aliens keep coming in because they get away with it. The situation is unbalancing our society. We deserve better law enforcement for our tax money. Don’t let this go on.

What a concept! Enforcing the laws we already have.

Why can't the politicians get that concept?

Do they not know their own laws?

We don't need reform we need the laws to be enforced.
Enforcement is the answer. DUH!

Employers in Colorado hiring illegals have formed pacs in their Chambers of commerce to maintain their cheap labor habit. If The Colorado Dems don't do what they said and crack down we'll get rid of them. Also, recall Degette and Salazar.

Right on, A. Woodbury! I and the majority of Americans agree with you. Everyone needs to keep the pressure on our Representatives. Hold them to their oath to uphold our laws. Do not sit by and do nothing. Fax, e-mail, call or write your Representatives and let them know what you want. Do it this week and every week until our laws are enforced!
