It's not racism to want laws enforced

Posted February 20, 2008 10:00 pm

What do prejudice, hate or racism have to do with illegality and the will of the people?

When my house was broke into, that was illegal entry. The United States of America has borders and entry without permission is illegal entry.

When I visited the Association for Legal Americans Web site, I did not see anything advocating prejudice, racism or hate. A majority of citizens in this country want borders secured and laws enforced.

A million people a year are granted permission to come into this country and citizens welcome them. Another 800,000 sneak in and citizens do not welcome them.

Cities and states are beginning to do the will of the people, but there is a small percentage of people who do not like laws being enforced and who resort to name calling.

AFLA shows the facts and I thank the group for that. I hope this state will start enforcing laws.
