Mr. Johnson, When you wrote your article in Rocky Talk you used the word dignity several times, as if these illegal invaders deserve that air of approval.

There is another side to that word in relation to these illegals who block our streets with their protests and demands.

Where is the dignity when they cross the border illegally and drop their trash on our side of the fence creating tons of their garbage for our bulldozers to spend hours regularly scooping it up?

Where is the dignity for millions of them using our emergency rooms free of charge when the rest of us work our tails off to pay our own way and then higher medical fees to cover their costs?

Where was the dignity for the thousands of them who commit crimes in a country that has to pay their judicial costs?

Where is the dignity for those who steal from our markets and clothing stores? I saw a Mexican man run from King Soopers carrying two, large trays of deli ribs to a waiting car without plates. I saw a Mexican woman with an armload of clothing run out of Ross Dress For Less to a waiting truck with no plates. I saw a man the other day run from Wal Mart with a bicycle and something rolled up under his arm and rode away as fast as his stealing legs could go.

I have been hit by them twice now and they had no legal papers or insurance to drive; I was stuck by them once again, or rather, twice again. I saw them hit a car at an intersection and run away after the accident. I could go on and on not only with my observations, but with accounts of others who suffer at their illegal hands. Where’s the dignity in it, Mr Johnson?

If they were here to simply work with dignity at a dignified job, they wouldn’t be on welfare, they wouldn’t be stealing from our stores and they would do nothing to be a burden on our society; nothing.

My third generation Mexican friends tell me this a very well planned invasion of the U.S. and that they come here for what they can get; not what they have to offer. That would be too dignified.

Then you have the short sightedness to quote some poor, pathetic whiner that “you are never going to see an American scrubbing toilets and picking up trash and humiliating themselves...” Again, what a patheic whiner. How does she think America got built into what it is? How does America stay so clean and such a tempting place for her to sneak across the border to partake of all that this amazing country has to offer? We gringos take out the trash every day and we clean our toilets every day and when I’m doing it I have never felt humiliated; just clean. There is much dignity in being clean and being the one keeping things clean. When this same woman has her baby twins that are due on Halloween who is paying her maternity bills? Who will pay their way in this country? Will she be one who has dignity and pays her own family’s way or will she be a sponge on American taxpayers and still cry for respect because she only wants recognition for being “dignified?”

Where I come from Bill, I’ve had to earn the title, not demand it. I take out trash, and I clean all the time. I don’t steal or ask others to pay my way. I don’t block American streets and demand honor or dignity. I earned it along the way and never left trash behind me for others to pick up.

So, Mr. Johnson, when you speak of dignity, as a reader, I’d like a more complete, honest, story and not one with a bleeding heart, liberal bias.

I like open minds, but the prospect of being so open minded that your brains fall out, well, it just ain’t dignified.

READER COMMENTS

Yes, it is an invasion. Until the common citizen demands this invasion be stopped with force, it will continue, with the approval of Ken Salazar, Ted Kennedy, George Bush, John Mccain and the rest. Don't wait for the government to do anything about this. Take action yourself, whatever it takes.

Excellent Letter! To the point!
Adam 2..The American Citizen dosn't have to march in the streets..demanding dignity,justice, mendigando. Our government
takes care of their american citizens. You all are lucky that you have permission to protest,
you all should be GRATEFULL..because what you all really deserve is DEPORTATION.
You should respect the country that tolerates you all,and your mentality of thinking you deserve...everything. As for the First Amendment..That is OUR First Amendment
NOT YOURS..Illegal Aliens ..DON"T HAVE RIGHTS! Sin veguensas!

Reporters have recorded illegals coming out of court for no drivers licenses, get in and drive away with Mexican plates. They have no respect for our laws. yesterday a texas town passed anti illegal laws, so it's spreading. what is a shame is this Government does nothing. It will take a terrorist to come across and do his deeds before they do anything, and it may be too late then.

To paraphrase a couple of lines from "Blazing Saddles" that fits the illegal alien mentality, particularly the Mexican one; "Dignity...we don't need no stinkin' dignity!"

As for Johnson and his dignity; he has none since he is famous for fabricating stories and people, half assed research into his stories, and a completely idiotic bleeding heart mentality as he attempts to prove to himself that he is better than everyone else.

Adam 2,
So the first Admendment applies to illegals?? You need to be an American Citizen, which they most certainly are not!
Marching for justice and dignity....Ha they have neither.
a. B. C.D. Page are correct for standing up for thier rights.
Everyone wants justice first...which is enforcement of the immigration laws.

This letter writer is correct. There is NO DIGNITY in demanding rights you do not deserve. If these illegal alien lawbreakers had any dignity at all, they would return to their own country and march there and make their demands there. Fix your own country!

A. Page says it very well. Thank you!

Seems like the police should hang around A. Page. He is witness to so much crime...always in the right spot at the right time.
Never mind that the marchers had a city parade permit giving them the right to march...
A. Page has all the answers...what a dignified place to be in...to know everything or al least thinks he does.
What undignified question from B Page...(wonder if C Page is waiting to write in...)
Would you march if it were raining or even snowing...I guess the answer to that is it depends on what you are marching for.
When one marches for justice and dignity, rain or snow will not keep them from exercising the First Amendment.
Don't spend too much time reading this...you may miss another immigrant running from the scene of the crime "without license plates."

Thank you for stateing what I believe is true. I find it interesting though, that they have to empty out the Dever public schools to get enough protesters. How many marchers would they have on a Saturday? Or if it was cold or even snowing?
