I wrote my congressman and explained our personal hardships due to uncontrolled immigration in Los Angeles, my child has to attend a private school because the aptitude of the large immigrant student body is only 30% in standard testing compared to the nation, which forces us to live on less income, my kid cannot get a job as a teenager to make up the losses, teenage unemployment is as low as its been in 30 years, my mother was forced to sell her home and move in with us because she cannot live alone due to high crime in an immigrant neighborhood , my 25 mile commute to work is 1.5 hours way due to over crowed highways. I wanted to know why my family must sacrifice just so some business can receive low cost subsidized tax payer labor? Needles to say I received a letter in return from my congressman he also agreed that the visitor program was bad, but for the reason that it rewards law breakers while penalizing those immigrants who are trying to come here legally (as if we need them too)!
