Kudos to immigrant who became citizen

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Peter Garcia for his letter in the May 19 Fence Post. He says exactly what many of us citizens think and feel about illegal immigrants but would be labeled as "racists" if we had said it.

Thanks, again, Mr. Garcia for being a standup "fellow American citizen." I am personally very proud that you are one of our legal citizens and know that many other citizens feel the same.
