Dear Editor:
As an American citizen strongly opposed to illegal immigration and or any
amnesty proposals, I wish to submit my plan to your readers for their
evaluation.
Going on the premise that we need laborers (with our high unemployement
and loss of jobs to foreign entities I question this), how about a "labor
force." Strictly here to work, granted legal status for just that. No
schooling for the children, no benefits whatever other than what the
employer provides. After all, why should our infrastructure be undermined
to increase the profits of the chicken processors, et al? Let them take
care of their own. If these imported aliens become out of work, create
problems with the display of foreign flags, operate vehicles without real
driver's licenses and up to date insurance, or become a burden or
criminal of any kind, out they go. Fingerprinted and advised that if they
return illegally they will be placed on a work farm as prisoners of the US.
With a program such as this many good things will result. As American
citizens we would not begrudge the Mexicans sending billions of dollars
"home" to Mexico. As laborers only, with no benefits,
they could do as they please with their earnings, with no ill feelings
created, since they would not be a burdon to US taxpayers. Another thing
that would be eliminated would be statements by your readers such as the
ND's letter in the Dec. 19th issue of Immigrant's Weekly, where the letter writer says,
"I am an illegal alien, but I am not a criminal." Now, I ask you dear
reader, what part of illegal does not denote criminal? It is my belief
that crossing our borders illegally is indeed a criminal act, and since
we are letting it continue without prosecuting these criminals, they are
emboldened to commit other criminal acts. Figuring they are above our
laws, which at the present time they are.
Race is not an issue here. Violating the law of our country is the issue.
