Politics, illegal immigration are destroying America

The political insanity is destroying our country. Our politicians are failing to do what is right to maintain a strong country.

They fail to establish English as our official language, which is becoming a bigger nightmare every day. They fail to seal our borders. They keep talking amnesty for these illegal immigrants who are flooding our schools with their numerous offspring, many of whom don’t speak English and overcrowd our classrooms.

We are no longer noted as a country with a top quality educational system, which is vital for our survival.

The general public also helps to feed this nightmare when they hire illegal immigrants to paint, roof, build or maintain their yards. The thought might be that the cheap labor is a good deal, but we must remember that most of these folks are paying little or no taxes and that a lot of their needs are being subsidized with our tax dollars.

While we hope to leave our country in better shape for our children, I now pray that we don’t leave them a total disaster.
