Say no to amnesty

Posted March 15, 2010 11:00 pm

Well here we go again - liberals and illegal immigrant activists pushing amnesty again. Hard to understand how even the most liberal Americans can't understand the grave situation this country is in.

The federal government is running deficits that are completely out of control; millions of legal Americans are out of work; and Medicare and Medicaid will be broke in seven years. Our teenagers, especially our black teens, can't find jobs. States and cities are in the red. Our schools systems have such big financial problems that school programs are being cut nationwide. Yet, we spend billions educating and subsidizing illegals, while we can't take care of our own poor families and seniors.

It just makes no sense. We are mortgaging our children's future. Americans must take a stand and say no to amnesty. We must close the borders and go after the employers who hire them.

The Association for Legal Americans would like to hear from you on this issue. We will share your thoughts with our congressmen and our state and city officials and this newspaper.
