I support whole heartidly legal immigration to this country for any person who wants to become an American and part of our constitutional Republic and its attendant laws, life style, and moral values.

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.

If our Congress and President grant amnesty to millions of invaders, I will be in line to demand reparations, they will have given my country away without my consent.

Good letter Jeff, and I agree that until the borders are secured, there should be no guest worker portion. Do the first, and the second can come later.

I think the recent protests showed everyone just how many illegals are here in the country (and believe me, not all of them showed up for the protests).

With millions swarming in the streets, it made the US look like a third world country.

I get the impression the president and congress are planning an end run by increasing the amount of legal immigration allowed into this country. I personally don't believe we need it and will oppose that as well.

[Jeff Head]

BUMP.

[BubbaBobTX]

Great letters. You made me get off my butt and write a letter to my two Senators and the President as well. A first for me. I would urge a freapers to do the same the need to hear from us on this. (When I went on the internet to get the zip code for The White House they gave you the option to get the information in Spanish)

Good letter Jeff. It's probably too late for this to help, but I noticed a small typo in the following line.

"In my estimation, on of the most"

[Spottys Spurs]

Excellent, Jeff! Well done!!

I also sent letters to Senators Craig and Crapo. After the SJC follies earlier today, it's no surprize that over 80% of the voters are ready to spit tacks.

Here's an excerpt I included:

Concern high over immigration The Washington Times | March 28, 2006 | Jennifer Harper

A sampling of polls reveals that most Americans are concerned about the financial impact of illegal immigration and fret over porous borders, lax enforcement and easygoing policies that could reward or encourage lawbreakers.

The concern cuts across demographics. A Quinnipiac University Polling Institute survey of 1,892 registered voters released March 3 found that 88 percent think illegal immigration is a serious problem; 83 percent of respondents identified as children or grandchildren of immigrants agreed. The margin of error was two percentage points.

In addition, 62 percent opposed measures that would make it easier for illegals to become citizens; 56 percent of the immigrant descendants agreed. Seventy-two percent did not favor allowing illegals to get driver's licenses; 66 percent of the immigrant descendants agreed.

" In my estimation, on of the most important job"

one of the most important jobs.

This demonstrates the mindset of invasion rather than immigration-----the plan by illegals to overthrow the US government:

Reconquista Armando Navarro 'Ethnic Studies' Professor at the University of California, Riverside Anti-American, Fifth-Column Menace. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what this means (the immigration bill) is a transfer of power, it means control, and it is the young people, the people who are now moving to develop an agenda for the twenty first century they are going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self-determination, in terms of empowerment, even in the terms of an Aztlan...."

This photo will crush the debate on the guest worker program.....

This is an outrage. Act now. Demand all funding be cut off to California's Montebello High-----the school that allowed illegals to disrespect America and desecrate our flag.

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside-down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

If you want your elected officials to read your letters, you need to send them a nice big bribe (whoops, I mean "campaign contribution").

Yes, I do send letters which they ignore. In fact, they seem to ignore the letters of all their constituents. Vote em out of office.

[WhiteGuy]

Well written, I appreciate your words.

I suspect that, unless you sent some "abramoff-sized" checks that your letters will be ineffective.

That's just the way it is today.

[humblegunner]

But illegal immigration has nothing to do with that in my estimation, from the get go when they violate those laws to get here.

I could not possibly agree more but I think we may be past the letter-writing stage.

I'm stocking up.

[RightWinger]

Sounds a lot like my letter.

I emphasized securing the border immediately and working out the other points after wards.
