Letter-Writing Ping!
But illegal immigration has nothing to do with that in my estimation, from the get go when they violate those laws to get here.
We need plainly understood and decent immigration laws (which I believe we have) and then the will to enforce them.
Just my opinion.
FYI...my feelings as sent to my representatives.
I sent one out to my RINO again this morning.
This is what President Bush said yesterday, March 25, 2006
"Comprehensive immigration reform begins with securing our borders."
"To keep the promise of America, we must enforce the laws of America."
"One thing the temporary worker program would not do is provide
amnesty to those who are in our country illegally."
Well done, Jeff. You have to wonder just whose interests our RINO pols are serving. It's obviously not those of this country.
I agree, we need to give the President a real heads up on this issue and make sure he knows we mean to have him 'gitterdun'.
Great letters, Jeff.
When they start losing their jobs in Washington, this will change. Not before.
And a fine one it is.
While we are all opposed to illegal aliens (let's stop calling them "immigrants") streaming across the border, what exactly is so horrible about a legal guest worker program that does not lead to legal immigrant status?
A legal "immigrant" comes to a country and stays. A "guest" comes to your country or house for a certain amount of time and then goes home.
When I was stationed at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo in the 1980's, the U.S. Navy brought in Jamaican guest workers under contract to do the low skill jobs that needed to be done and were not worth the time of U.S. sailors and U.S. Marines that needed to be concentrating on their military duties and not mowing lawns or mopping the floor at the Navy Exchange.
Those Jamaican guest workers would come for the specified time of their contract, do their job, collect their pay and then go home to Jamaica between job contracts to enjoy their money.
What's wrong with Mexican guest workers being screened by the U.S. Government, issued a guest worker visa, coming for a specified length of time, picking the tomatos, collecting their pay and then going back to Mexico between jobs to enjoy their money?
As it is now, once they have been smuggled across the border, Mexican illegals NEVER go back home to Mexico because sneaking back into the U.S. across the desert is, literally, a death defying act.
Thread about a CBS poll --- and it ain't pretty for those favoring illegals:

I applaud your letters. Unfortunately, for those of us that live in California, we're represented by brain-dead Liberals whose purpose in life is to bash Bush to the exclusion of security or anything else that is important for this country. Liberals Pelosi, Feinstein, and Boxer are a disgrace for both this state and our country.
Good! Mine are going today.
FWIW - I called both of my Senators Thursday with a similar message. They were very polite, and I got the impression that they had been hearing this from a lot of people.

This sets the stage for the Dim's to be defeated in
even more 2006 and 2008 elections!
Any REAL Conservative knows the success
of the 2006 and 2008 elections
is electing those who secure our borders
and enforce the law of the land!
President Bush has set the example and
ensured a sweep in '06 and '08!
Only the looney left and the wrong rino's
would support illegal immigration
and amnesty for those who are in our country illegally!
I have sent similar messages to my reps in both houses (even the Dem Senator) and the President.
you're way too nice.....
My letters read more like pink slips....
