The California Mess
Mon

Posted on 09/07/2003 6:57:30 PM PDT by Mon

I wrote this letter to the Armstrong & Getty Show and it was read on the air on Friday Sept. 5, 2003. Thought I share it with you all.

Hello! Love your show!!!!!! I am so mad about this whole thing with drivers license for illegal immigrants etc. I'm a legal immigrant who came to the US in 1992. I am married to an American, because of that my mother-in-law had to sign a piece of paper for the INS stating that, if I need financial help the first 10 years in this country, she will have to provide that, that I am not able to receive welfare for this time! Now, I never planned on getting any welfare, but why should illegal’s get it????? I paid over $600 just to get into the US. I paid another $295 for my American citizenship in 2002 and I didn’t mind any of it.

All these people out there who scream for their rights are very uninformed. This is not about all immigrants anymore, it’s only about a certain race. Anybody who is not Hispanic is not included. All they create is more hate instead of uniting us. Just because I came from a European country doesn’t mean I need to be treated differently.

I speak English since 5th Grade, perfected it more before I moved here, because school English only teaches you the basics. People just have to get off of their behinds and take charge of their own lives. Yes, some believe English doesn’t have to be spoken by everybody in the US, but how stupid are they? We have children in my daughter’s school who do not speak English, their grades are messed up, they can’t talk to most other kids, but then we have to find programs to educate them in Spanish (“no child left behind”)? What about the child from Mongolia in her school? Is there a program for her? No!

Drivers licenses: Why? Who is going to pay if they have an accident? There will be law suits in regards of them legally being allowed to drive, are they going to be required to purchase insurance? Are they starting to pay tax for the money that they receive under the table for working illegally? I pay taxes, I expect others to do the same. A friend of mine almost got deported because she was late renewing her green card, what the heck???? A drivers license gets everybody on a plane, what about that? For anybody to be called a racist or anti-immigrant on this subject is absurd………….. an add on from me that was not included in the letter: a drivers license also buys you a gun.......

Fans of MENCHA's Goal of bringing California back under Mexico's Control =

GRAY DAVIS (D)
CRUZ BUSTAMONTE (D)
HILLARY RODHAM (D)
LORETTA SANCHEZ (D)

2004 Presidential Candidate HILLARY RODHAM's No. 1 TV Defensive Linebacker WALTER CRONKITE called for our all our Southern States to secede from our Union at a London World Conference in Election Year 2000.

Do the words 'Enemies of the State" finally ring a bell with anyone here..?

Most illegals are Asians and come in through Washington state or British Columbia

Lol. Where is that, in Fantasyland? Mexico is the source for over 70% of illegals in the US.

When is your pal Hugh going to discover that there is an illegal immigration problem? The only time I have ever heard him discuss the issue is when he denounces Prop 187. Which doesn't surprise me, since yuppie Irvine isn't affected.

I'm saying that "yes"!! there are WAY to many illegals immigrating into our country! But I'm also saying it started WAY before this administration, and they are addressing it. They have KIND of had their hands full, and in my opinion have had to PRIORITIZE things a tad.

Considering all things, I'd say they have done one H*ll of a job!! They ARE addressing illegal immigrants, but from a ton of sources, and national security is of the utmost importance. The southernmost border is also a breach. So don't think they don't know that.

It just amazes me that some people think the problems can all be solved in so simplistic a manner. I'd say, "all things considered" President Bush is doing a damn good job. Given the mess he was left with.. and given some more friggin time, he will continue to clean up this mess.

What time frame do you think it could be solved in?? I'm really curious. ???

...Thanks for Listening.

...HUGH HEWITT has been most kind to me on the air for years and I am with him on our voting for ARNOLD for the California's Budget Vetoing Chair, as the only one who can beat Communist, Spanish-First, California back to Mexico's Control CRUZ BUSTAMONTE.

...HUGH HEWITT, however has always rejected my on the air points made about HILLARY's Plans to become our next President, an Issue that could soon be decided for us all by next Thursday, the 2nd Anniversary of the Attacks of September 11, 2001 in a Presidential Announcement all her very own..?

my point, a drivers license gets you into a plane.
a driver’s license is a legal identity document. It should not be. It should merely be a license to drive in each state, having proven that you know the necessary traffic laws to not be a menace to others and yourself. If that were the only purpose, we wouldn’t even have this discussion. Where I come from (Germany) a driver’s license is just that. It is not a legal document for identity purposes. You get a national ID card. That would definitely solve a lot of citizenship problems here. All other legal immigrants there just have to show their passport to prove their status when necessary.

Aloha ALOHA RONNIE...

And here is a sunset from Maui.

Thnks

Ronnie, I always enjoy your enthusiasm when I hear you call George Putnam or Hugh. BTW, did you see that KPLS has been sold to a spanish language syndicate, subject to FCC approval? Salem Broadcasting has turned out to be useless.

Hugh still badmouths 187. I have no use for the invincibly ignorant who cannot see what is wrecking the state. It's elites vs grassroots once again.

You are ABSOLUTELY right. The MECHISTA's are actually in office already. Bustamante, Xavier Becerra (D) Calif, and Arizona congressman Raul Grijalva (D). All members of MEChA. Those are ONLY THE ONES WE KNOW ABOUT.

NONE of them will renounce this statement by MEChA " "For the Race, Everything, For those Outside the Race Nothing".

...Gee, Dad, it was a WUHLITZER. What a Beaut.

...I have been sounding the Alarm about a coming President HILLARY for almost a Decade now. What better time for HILLARY to now announce for President as she blames BUSH for the recent Power Blackout that started the very day after her 'HILLARY for President' Shacker Heights/Cleveland, Ohio Booksigning ..just a few miles away..?

...Our Communist Enemies place so much emphasis on Anniversaries, so why not a 'HILLARY for President' Announcement on or near the 2nd Anniversary of the Sept. 11th Attacks on US...

...that she keeps blaming BUSH for...

...but caused herself by keeping OSAMA out of the USA during the 1990's when offered to us by the Sudan 3 Times.

...ARNOLD is not afraid of advertising his past support for Prop 187 no matter what = A Leader

...Isn't it interesting how the Catholic Church saw fit to sell 'Radio on the Right' KPLS to the Spanish Language Network just as HILLARY was gearing up to run for President of the United States..?

...Especially since CLINTON's own White House Chief of Staff PENETTA and Impeachment Defense Attorney BENNETT have been sitting on the U.S. Bishops' Priest SeXual Abuse Oversight Committee for over a year..?

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been...
but...
now inside the Church..?

OMG

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.

I was so optimistic when President Bush first took Office and he went straight to Mexico, I was disappointed that things did not work out better.

I don't know if it was the late 70's or early 80's someone had floated the idea (to solve our Border problem) that we simply just Buy Mexico, he had the numbers worked out etc.

Back to the Statue of Liberty, packaged the right way it could be a win win situation, I actually don't see a downside.

...I think HUGH HEWITT tries to distance the Republican Party from its Prop 187 History for the Good of the Party = California Elections

...I think ARNOLD is now publically associating himself with the Republican Party's Prop 187 History for precisely the same reason in this California Recall Election.

...I'm voting for ARNOLD 'cause...

...in Politics...

...PERCEPTION is Everything...

...and he seems to be a...

...Master at it.
