Illegal Immigrants

I believe the first and most important issue in dealing with this problem is to secure our borders.

Following several Blogs I find this to be one of the most criticized polices of President Bush’s Administration.

While we are helping Iraq secure their borders, our remand one of the worse in the world allowing all kinds of illegal immigrants to enter this Country. All of these people are breaking our Laws to enter this great Country, the greatest in the world.

Many of these people are coming here for no other reason than to do harm to us and our way of life.

It is the duty of our Leaders to protect us from this threat no matter what we have to do.

I sent an e-mail to my Senator with a suggest on helping to control this important issue. I suggested using our available resources, namely, the National Guard to alternate in patrolling our borders. Here I am inserting his reply:

“I appreciate your comments about deploying the military along the Mexican border to help curb illegal immigration. A full military deployment along our southern border would cause far more problems than it could hope to solve. As the President stated "The United States is not going to militarize the southern border. Mexico is our neighbor, and our friend.
We will continue to work cooperatively to improve security on both sides of the border..." It is my understanding that in some areas National Guard units assist immigration officials, but only in very specific cases.
I believe that although a short term solution such as this is currently viable, we must not rely on a band-aid approach; we must work towards a
long term solution.”

First I would like to say this, A band-aid is very useful with a cut or something till you can get to the doctor for stitches.

Now I am going to respond in full. First I don’t understand how our Military would cause more problems that it could hope to serve.

He stated that Mexico is our neighbor and friend. Well, while they may occupy the Country next to our, they are NOT neighbors nor are they friends.

Let me give you the Bible definition of who a neighbor is:

Luke 10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Therefore a neighbor is one who sees and ministers to the need. This Mexico has never done so they are not our neighbor.

As far as being our friend, ‘no friend will allow hurt to a friend. Mexico continues to allow illegal immigrants to come here and hurt us in many ways, allowing terrorists to use their borders to cross into this Country, taking jobs our people should be doing, draining our welfare system, causing our medical bills to skyrocket plus other things. Therefore they are not friends and we should not worry about what they say about building a fence along our borders. Their thoughts should not enter into our plans to control our borders. We have given them every opportunity to help solve this issue and all they have is is the same thing the priest did, pass by on the other side of the road.

Once again, I would like to offer what I truly believe would be a simple common horse sense solution.

No 1: Use as my Senator said a band-aid as a temporary solution while using the Guard Personal to patrol the borders to help curtail the number of immigrants coming into this Country.

No 2: Use the National Guard to build a fence along the border. As the fence is built, run eclectic wires through the fence along with razor edges along the top otherwise they will just climb the fence.

No 3: NO amnesty for these Law-breakers. Leave them as criminals and put a bounty on their head. When someone reports these people and they are picked up, DEPORT them at once at the expense of the employer and give the employer a LEFTY fine. Here I will again insert what my Senator said about the employers:

“You expressed support for holding employers accountable for hiring illegal aliens. I agree that employers have a pivotal role in ensuring that
illegal aliens are not working in the United States. The current system
used by employers to check legal status is not working. As part of the
debate on immigration reform, Congress is considering a number of
proposals, including higher fines and sanctions for employers who
knowingly and willingly employ illegal aliens. I also believe that the
United States should not grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Amnesty would send a message to illegal immigrants that if you break our immigration laws and avoid being detected for several years, the United States will not only forgive you, but reward you with permanent resident status. Instead of stopping illegal immigration, amnesty would encourage it.”

Notice one of the things being considered is sanctions. Sorry I have never known sanctions to amount to a hill of beans. It is simply a cop-out.

These suggestions may seem hard but I will leave you with one other thought. I lived in the country for several years and had a family who lived about one quarter mile from me. He had a dog that was always coming over to my place and killed several of my small animals. For sometime I kept begging this family, “no they were not neighbors” to keep their dog away from my place. They continued to refuse. One day the dog was back over and killed several more animals. I call them and said, “this is the last time I will allow that dog on my property. They just laughed. I hung up the phone, went and got my deer rifle and sat it next to the door. Next day when I got up, there was the dog in my driveway. I picked up and rifle and boom. They called the police and were told that they had been asked several times to keep the dog away; therefore they were unable to do anything as I was within my rights. End of problem.

If you have any constructed ideas, I would welcome them.

God Bless
