Senate immigration proposal a betrayal of public
May 27, 2007 |
Our government officials have betrayed us with the new immigration proposal that will most likely pass in the next few weeks. Something is amiss when elected officials completely ignore what the majority of legal citizens tell them they want and decide to enact legislation that is irresponsible and ill-conceived. Rewarding criminals is bad policy and sets a precedent that may have terrible consequences in the future. No matter what your political views, if someone enters this country illegally without a visa or notifying our immigration authorities, they are breaking our laws. They may not all be murderers, rapists, or petty thieves but they are still criminals in the eyes of the law. Rewarding one group of criminals will only encourage other groups to rise up and start making demands. When will it stop?
Inviting 50 million more people to this country over the next 20 years is the second major flaw of this immigration proposal. Our local infrastructures for public services are already being taxed beyond what they can reasonably handle. How do these politicians possibly conclude that adding 50 million more people (almost 16% of our current population) will make this a better situation?
Take time to note who has betrayed you in your states and remember this in the next election. The real criminals should not be rewarded when election time comes around!
