We realize that it won't be too long before the "takers" outnumber the "givers" here, and it's already happening. The changes here in California in the past ten years alone are so sad. The laws against illegal immigration are not enforced. Schools are overflowing, and now we must build new ones to accommodate the illegals. Medical facilities are becoming bankrupt because of being forced to give free care to the ininsured illegals, and now the homeowners will have to "bail them out" by increased taxes. They work for cash, and with false documents they receive welfare and food stamps. They don't speak English, and it's rare to see a young Mexican woman who isn't pregnant and with three children in tow. They drive (badly) without insurance. Gangs of Mexican men gather on street corners everywhere, throwing their trash wherever they stand. They're bold, and have a sense of entitlement because they think we're stupid.
Writing to the officials here doesn't do any good. I got a letter back from one of them, thanking me for my letter and stating that he regretted that he disagreed with me. My letter outlined the fact that millions of illegal aliens were receiving welfare benefits (and everything else) because they had false documents.
Soon our freeways will be filled with truck drivers from Mexico (thanks to NAFTA). Will they be able to read the signs? Will they have American insurance? Will they be able to navigate California freeways without posing danger to us? Probably not. Will the trucks contain drugs and more illegal aliens? Probably.
Tom Tancredo is practically standing alone in Washington trying to stop this invasion of millions while George Bush puts his stamp of approval on anything that will open the borders even further.
About the only thing any of us can do about it is to keep writing to those who "represent" us and complain, complain, complain. A good source is www.numbers.usa, who provides free fax services with pre-written faxes to many of those in Washington. The faxes include the legislation coming up for votes. This is a chance to let those who will be voting know how we feel.
