I think we all feel that way. Decided one more try - sent the following to Vice President Cheney (tried the President but Laura Bush's name kept coming up) and Colin Powell. Also, something similar to the Republican Chairman of California. All the mail I have received requesting donations I am returning with a similar note.
Mr. Vice President,
After reading the full article in the Washington Post, I tried to write the President. Laura Bush's name kept coming up so I decided you would be next in line.
Please advise the President and whomever else involved, there is to be NO special treatment for Illegals. And, please tell them to STOP referring to them as Undocumented. This is just a cover-up for lawbreakers. As far as our Social Security system is concerned, I sincerely believe they have NOT paid into it under false Social Security numbers - it is against the law for anyone to employ them - including housekeepers. This I was told.
I demand that all ILLEGALS be deported for breaking the law and if they wish to return, do so legally - just as my father and grandparents did many years ago.
The MEXICAN border is to be closed to all illegal activity, including drug smuggling, and no special deals for those that broke the law. I remind you what we the people of California accomplished once former Governor Davis signed the bill giving driver's licenses for illegals. With all that's going on with illegals, is it any wonder the state is bankrupt.
Remember, I am one of many whose taxes are going up and up while services, medical and crime figures deteriorate. This is no longer acceptable and must STOP now.
I am a registered Republican and have voted and donated for many, many years. Please advise all concerned that I will not donate one more penny until this situation is resolved. Again, NO special treatment for lawbreakers.
Sincerely,
Portion of article
