BTW: My wife's father was a foreman on a ranch in Reedley (about 30 miles east of Fresno). Her grandfather was an immigrant from Finland. He was a school teacher and he fled the communists. Had to work as a coal miner and then farmer here in America. Had it not been for immigration, my sons John and Chris would not even be here.

Reedley? LOL! I once had a girl friend who lived in Orange Cove, I think that's only about 10 minutes or so from Reedley.

And most of us wouldn't be here if our ancestors never relocated here. That was a long time ago, and things have changed. Nothing stays the same. Some legal immigration is fine. Just not the numbers that are pouring in today, compounded by the millions of illegals, it's a recipe for disaster.

Jim, you must know that legal immigration is not necessarily the problem. It is the illegal immigration problem and the open nature of our borders with Canada and Mexico that are the threat to our National security.
