Letter body: 

Oregon is at risk of demise. What was once a beautiful state full of promise and potential, has become a magnet for foreign nationals who want the option to pick and choose which laws to obey and which to ignore.

When our lawmakers and those who benefit from their presence, plot and scheme behind closed doors to advance the agenda of people in our country illegally, then our state is doomed. Law abiding, tax-paying citizens will take a back seat to rallying mobs of illegal aliens demanding their rights.

I am a lifelong Oregonian and I fear for the future of my state. The culture of corruption that is ruining our neighbors to the south is now making its way to the steps of our Capitol. The rule of law is what defines a civil society. Oregon is moving away from that and moving toward failure. What a shame.
