Why people are getting upset with illegal immigrants
Jill Bureau, MerrimackPublished: Thursday, May. 26, 2005
I have been reading all the letters about illegal immigration and feel the need to give my opinion as a legal immigrant.
People do not seem to be getting the point of what the New Ipswich and Hudson police chiefs are trying to do. They are not being racist or penalizing people with an accent, different color or people trying to work.
They are trying to uphold the law because the government doesn’t seem to be able or willing to do so.
My husband and I are both immigrants with accents, we came here for a better life and opportunity. We were not “born into one of the richest countries in the world.”
What we didn’t do is come illegally. People are upset by those that come here illegally.
We did our paper work, we had to have a job to come to and when we got here we started paying Social Security, taxes and everything else a law-abiding citizen pays.
My husband served eight years in the U.S. Air Force and two in the reserves.
There is nothing wrong with immigrants; this country was founded and thrived on such. What has everybody upset is why should people just step across the border from any country via plane, boat or walking and just get benefits straight away?
Our son was born here with disabilities and he is on a waiting list for services, I know for a fact that children of illegals are getting services before him. Before I get told that I don’t like children, that is not the point, legal immigrants should come first.
My husband took two jobs and went to school to pay our medical bills for our son, and to get ahead. One person comes here, has a baby, the baby is legal so now the whole family is, and all get benefits of some sort.
The United States should do what a judge in Ireland did. He said the baby could stay or go home with the parents, but the parents were being deported, they were illegal.
I think America has proved to the world it has a big heart, but when its legal citizens are going without, something has to change. The laws need to be tightened, not slackened.
300°F would be a start for illegal aliens.....
What degree do you recommend for studying an invasion?
Military science, but this problem could be handled by common sense. American business loves cheap labor, but the consequences to the country in general are not cheap. What party is willing to step up to the politically unpopular issue and risk alienation of a voting bloc?
