Be active in fight against illegal immigration

Is saving our country from the illegal onslaught still possible? While the leaders of this country seem to be encouraging the problem and talking amnesty, we wonder if maybe we elected some politicians with no brains.

But just maybe this problem is partly our own fault. We should keep their phones busy and their mail boxes full with our complaints concerning the illegal aliens, such as the population explosion, the crime, the language barrier, the devastation of our schools, the drug problems, our enormous financial crisis and our unemployment.

We must remember that those who were elected to represent us are not living out here in the real world and don’t know what is happening to our country unless we barrage them with the facts as we see them. The time for them to act is slipping away fast.

We must close our borders, make E-Verify mandatory, increase the deportation, stop talking amnesty and address this nightmare with some good old common sense.

We must do our part to let Washington, D.C., know our thoughts or we can expect the worst.
