A very good logical look at illegal aliens

This came to me in an E-mail.True false or what ever.It makes some good points..
..................................................................

A retired border patrol agent shows some common sense. This letter
sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border patrol
agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed
from the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives.

Dear Senator Frist:
There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about
illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian,
Guatemalan and Honduran aliens.

#1. Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S.
citizen.
Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their
home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United
States such as employment, medical care, in-state tuition,
government subsidized housing, and free education for their
offspring. Their main attraction is employment and their loyalty
usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and subsidized by
middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits of
American residence without paying the price.

#2.There are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans can't take and still support their families.
Illegal aliens take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence
home, share expenses and send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans won't do for a decent wage.

#3.Every person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT homeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their
home countries. They come to send money to their real home as
evidenced by the more than $20 billion sent out of the country each
year by illegal aliens. These illegal aliens knowingly and willfully
entered this nation in violation of the law and, therefore, assumed
the risk of detection and deportation. Those who brought their alien
children assumed the responsibility and risk on behalf of their
children.

#4. Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens
constitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages
and benefits for lawful U.S. residents.

#5. This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born
Americans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded
by immigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not
a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one
time or another.

#6. The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens
are not immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful
immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined.

#7 There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote". Hispanics are white,brown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans,Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents. The so-called "Hispanic vote" is a myth. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic vote is a dead end.

#8. Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans
have resented the United States. During World War I, Mexico allowed
German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. During
World War II, Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from
Mexico. During the Cold War, Mexico allowed spies hostile to the
U.S. to operate freely. The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was
cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today, Mexican school
children are taught that the U.S. stole California, Arizona, new
Mexico and Texas. If you don't believe it, checkout some Mexican
textbooks written for their schoolchildren.

#9. Although some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life, there are 6 billion people on this planet. At least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day. If wanting a better life
is a valid excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then
let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the
USA into a Third World nation overnight. Besides, there are 280
million native born Americans who want a better life. I'll bet Bill
Gates and Donald Trump want a better life. When will the USA
lifeboat be full? Since when is wanting a better life a good reason
to break the law and trash another nation?

#10. There is a labor shortage in this country? This is a lie. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American housewives,
senior citizens, students, unemployed and underemployed who would
gladly take jobs at a decent wage.
#11. It is racist to want secure borders? What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not
wanting people to sneak into America and steal benefits we have set
aside for legal aliens, senior citizens, children and other legal
residents? What is it about race that entitles people to violate
our laws, steal identities, and take the American Dream without
paying the price?

For about four decades American politicians have refused to secure
our borders and look after the welfare of middle class Americans.
These politicians have been of both parties. A huge debt to American
society has resulted. This debt will be satisfied and the interest
will be high. There has already been riots in the streets by illegal
aliens and their supporters. There will be more. You, as a
politician, have a choice to offend the illegal aliens who have
stolen into this country and demanded the rights afforded to U.S.
citizens or to offend those of us who are stakeholders in this
country. The interest will be steep either way.

There will be civil unrest. There will be a reckoning. Do you have
the courage to do what is right for America? Or, will you bow to the
wants and needs of those who don't even have the right to remain
here? There will be a reckoning. It will come in November of this
year, again in 2008 and yet again in 2010. We will not allow America
to be stolen by third world agitators and thieves.
