Illegal immigration ‘is still illegal’
Letters to the Editor
Published: September 4, 2008I found it amusing when I read the words of the son of one of
those detained in the illegal immigration raid in Laurel, Miss.
“ ‘We have kids without dads and pregnant mothers who got their
husbands taken away,’ said Velez’s son Robert, youth pastor at the
church. ‘It was like a horror story. They got handled like they
were criminals.’ ”
Well, duh! They are criminals. Illegal immigration is still illegal in
this country despite the protestations to the contrary by many. Illegal
aliens nearly always refer to themselves as simply “immigrants” and
their supporters nearly always refer to them as “immigrants, just like
our forefathers” or something similar.
The statistics surrounding this huge national problem are
shocking. Nobody seems to know exactly how many illegal aliens
are in this country, but most observers put the number at somewhere
between 10 million and 20 million. My goodness, that is nearly five times
the entire population of Alabama.
The sad thing about the whole mess is that most people have no idea
just how much this illegal alien problem costs us. Every taxpayer helps
to support these people in one way or another. Think health care at
emergency rooms, subsidized housing, loss of taxes due to nonpayment
and many other things.
It would seem that most Americans could look around them and observe
the economic mess the country is in right now. This alone should open
their eyes to how much worse this mess is due to the presence of
illegal aliens.
