Immigration Reform

With Immigration Reform coming to the forefront of our many problems, I visualize a troubling possibility.

I don't want to make this message too long. All of the burdens that illegal immigrants place on our society and infra-structure and the enormous costs involved have been previously enumerated.

Amnesty would neither solve nor change any thing. It would simply continue, and probably accelerate, all of the problems. No administration of either party has enforced our immigration laws. The blame must be shared for the problems but not be used as an excuse for Amnesty which would only legalize the illegal and place additional burdens on all Americans.

Now it is likely that Congressional votes will hinge on protecting the existing and future Hispanic voting blocs. Little attention will be paid to doing 'what is right' and correcting the multiple problems created by illegal immigration. We now have 25 million people in search of full time employment and a 'net' financial burden caused by the illegals of over $50 billion per year. And you can rest assured that many votes in congress will be cast trying to capture the Hispanic vote.

We the People must demand that our representatives and senators abide with their moral convictions (if they have any) and not be swayed by potential or existing Hispanic voters. If they vote for amnesty they will be pandering for votes in the worst possible manner . . . and they must be held accountable for their actions.

Our collective voices must be heard . . . Now more than ever.
