In light of all the media coverage concerning illegal immigration recently, I have written the following letter to my senators, I recommend you make your voice heard as well.
Dear Senator,
I just thought that I would drop a line and ask that you support HR4473 to stem the tide of illegal immigrants within the United States. This is not merely a Homeland Security issue, though it is that, this is also an issue of deterring general crime. How can we as a society expect that someone not respecting our laws on immigration will respect any other laws we have? If we do not know who is coming into our nation, how do we know if we are allowing the settling of murderers and rapists from their native country into the United States?
The last Dallas Police Officer killed in the line of duty was killed by an illegal immigrant who sat in jail for 2 weeks, yet was never deported or interviewed by INS. The White Rock Lake Rapist (who raped 5 Dallas women and 1 Kansas woman) was found to be an illegal immigrant and of course now we have several hundred members of MS13, the El Salvadorian gang in our neighborhoods. How many more people have to be victimized before we do something about our porous border situation?
Secondly there is the issue of depressing wages and the artificial marketplace. A home builder who uses illegal immigrants to build a house will pay below minimum wage or circumvent the Workman’s Compensation guidelines, thus cutting his cost and gain the advantage of pricing his/her houses below that of his/her competitors that follow the law and pay wages according to the law. This not only hurts the honest employer, it hurts used home sellers since their homes will sell price for more that what it would cost to simply have a house built, depressing prices of homes. This is just one example.
Lastly there is the issue of discrimination. Twenty years from now the children of these illegal immigrants will not be thanking us for the opportunity to come to America, instead there will be class action lawsuits and accusations of discrimination stating that the only jobs we “allowed” an illegal to take were dangerous or simply jobs nobody else wanted, in a type of institutionalized racism. Nobody wins when discrimination is taking place and this is discrimination.
Please secure our borders.
