Letter body: 

Who says crime doesn’t pay? Just take a look at all the freebies the illegal immigrants get when they sneak into the U.S. — our country, not theirs. Free housing, medical coverage, public assistance, and now Rep. John Huffman just co-sponsored a bill that would allow illegals to get a break on college tuition.

How is it that illegals get to go to college cheaper than our legally born, hard-working kids? They are after all here ILLEGALLY! I can think of no better way to keep illegals out of this country by offering more free things, can you? What a joke our elected officials are. Some deterrent! Just where the heck did our elected officials get it that we the citizens of Oregon and the U.S. want to give criminals more than we give our own kids?

I, for one, will work very hard to make it very hard for any representative to get re-elected the next time they come up for election if they vote or sponsor such tripe. I have had it with those that think that illegals deserve more than legal citizens. I am mad and want no more. And before you get your shorts all twisted out of shape, illegal is a criminal activity — as in “not here with our permission."
