Dear Editor:
In response to your recent editorial comments entitled, Equal In Heroism, Equal In Punishment, yes, I realize all of us are immigrants, except those native Americans, but the idea that you want to afford non-Americans the same rights and privileges as those who are American or have worked hard to become legal here, and who do not break the law, who pay their taxes and don't sit on the public dole, lacks sense.
I've worked in the immigration area for many years. I've assisted many many people obtain their legal status here, and I've seen some real shams. But this business about treating aliens as if they have the rights and privileges of a US citizen or legal alien is unbelievable. Why don't we just open our borders, our homes doors and our checkbooks while we're at it, as if we didn't support half the world with humanitarian efforts to begin with.
