Letter body: 

Have we become the dumping grounds for the poor children of the world?

With a debt of $17 trillion and a policy with the illegal immigrants that is completely out of control, it makes a person wonder if saving our country is possible.

Illegal aliens are costing us billions on welfare, food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC and free school lunches, Medicaid, education, incarceration and the loss of suppressed American wages.

Our politicians claim the illegal immigrants are good for our economy. Do you think we should buy them some new calculators?

we need to demand that English be established as our official language and the thought of amnesty be eliminated. And we need to stop employing illegal immigrants for our home labor.
