This is one I just have to pass on. It cuts out all the BS from the politicians and says it like it is. I don't know this guy, but I wish I did!
Subject: Letter From Border Patrol Agent
This letter sent to Senator Frist from a retired border patrol agent that 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 State's 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 the 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 dollars 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 State s 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 State s. 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, check out some Mexican textbooks written for their school children.
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 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.

We're screwed. They are going to give our country away.[:(]
pretty much
(I'd advocate the Jedi approach first, but I know of few people who can convince the Mexicans to leave with a wave of their hand)
Since they didn't get their green cards they could not obtain secret clearances and get flightline access...therefor they got away with doing less work than everyone else.
Illegal Immigrants and green card holders in our military are leeches.
Illegals, on the other hand, need to get the boot.
Legal aliens are okay in my book - they obeyed the law when it's obviously easier to just break it.
depends on what they are here for. i know plenty of people who immigrated, became citizens but do despise anything American, think of themselves as first class "citizens" and never renounce their other allegiances, which means they lied taking the oath of allegiance. as far as i can see these people are no less the problem than illegals, if not worse. and in no way i am saying all immigrants are this way, most of my friends who weren't born here are more patriotic than most californians i know, not to mention that the words like "patriotism", "constitution", "bill of rights" has become somewhat derogatory here lately.

I couldn't agree more.
That said, does anyone think it possible that we could ever get a wave of patriotism going to the point where no one, anywhere, would have any work done by illegals? Just the other day I had a landscaper come by looking for jobs and I asked him if any of his crew were illegal and if so, he could forget about my business. He said they were all legal and on payroll, not day laborers. Who knows though.
The liberal view is noisy but small, the majority of Americans do not believe what these few vocal loudmouths believe. If we all got off our collective lazy arses, maybe the majority opionion would be heard and acted upon.
Just a pipe dream I know. This country is doomed by its own laziness.
True or False: If we had gone in to Iraq and pounded the crap out of them for a month, detroyed 90% of their infrastructure, 90% of their leadership, and then just left the mess for them to clean up, would we be a lot better off both at home and abroad?

...and ALL the lawyers.
D.
I would say the lawyers are a big part of the problem. It is primarly lawyers that are elected to public office and they are making the decisions for us.
