Deal with abortion, illegal immigration

Forty-five million U. S. babies have been aborted since Roe vs. Wade in 1973. These babies, had they been allowed to live, would range in age from one day to 35 years. All of those old enough to work in any capacity could be well on their way to becoming responsible, productive, contributing members to our national society and the world community. Many would have already become doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, professors, architects, artists of all sorts, etc. But all of them having been murdered by the heinous act of abortion, have been denied the opportunity to grow and become the persons they were created to be.

There are an estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the U. S., and they have no business being here. Yet there are those liberals who say these poor folks are major, positive contributors to our economic well being. The liberals say these illegal aliens are doing menial tasks that white Americans don't want to do or who feel that they are too good to do these jobs which pay minimum wage. This is just so much bunk.

The illegals are taking away good jobs that these aborted U.S. citizens could have had. Forty-five million U.S. citizens ranging in age from one day to 35 years could easily produce more output than the 12 million illegals. We would have an abundant work force of citizens of all ages and all skill levels in occupations and professions to meet our needs.

These U. S. citizens could deliver newspapers, shovel snow, mow lawns, wash windows, wash cars, mop floors, paint houses, work at fast food restaurants in all capacities, be janitors in all kinds of businesses, become mechanics, carpenters, electricians - and all other kinds of unskilled and skilled laborers and tradesmen, and all the while develop self esteem, self respect and pride in their work ethic.

They could work their way their way through college and graduate school and become professionals as listed above. All that is needed in order for us to experience this vision is for us to a) overturn Roe v. Wade, b) secure our borders and c) deport the illegal aliens.

We have the resources and the wherewithal to accomplish all of this. All that is lacking is the desire and will to do so.
