As some of you know I posted a blog entry on the Immigration Bill that was before our Senate this week. I can say I stood up and let my Senators know what I thought about the bill. Thank God it was defeated
Now I understand this can be a touchy subject and let me explain. I am not against legal immigration. I am also realist in the face of having 20 million illegals here. I do not expect those illegally here to be picked up and deported. I am for simplifying the process of becoming a citizen.
I was however against this bill. The main concern I have is for the security of our nation and our sovereignty. While good hard working people are coming over our borders illegally terrorist are coming with them. If we can not secure our borders we will be faced with having to fight terrorism here in America. If you think I am crazy just "click here" and read this report prepared by Congressman McCaul form Texas. It is an in-depth report about what is happening at our border.
My request from our leaders is for them to stand up and force local, state, and federal officials to enforce the laws we have on the books now. If you were not familiar with this bill there was not a single new law in it to secure our border. The only think that was guaranteed in the bill was that all illegals would be granted instant legal status after a 24 hour back ground check. Now if you are a traveler they have suspended the requirement fo Americans to have passports to travel to the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico. Why? because they were taking 6 months to process one passport. Are we supposed to believe they are going to be able to do back ground checks on 20 million illegal aliens? ( have you been to the DMV lately?)
I know some think it is not good for business to be politically active but I disagree. I think people like those who stand up for what they think is right. I don't know about you but I am fed up with our government not accomplishing anything. I am fed up with all the investigations they waste our money on while arguing amongst each other and trash talking about each other on national TV. I am a Republican but I am sick of the Republicans as well as the Democrats.
Another disturbing thing is why do they all decide to agree on this bill? They never agree on anything but all of a sudden they get back bones and stand up for something. They all decide to stand against a majority of the American people. Are we not the people that sent them thier? Are they not suppose to stand up for what the majority want?
I hope everyone of you who read this will start standing up for something. Even if you disagree with me get involved. Go out there and let your voice be heard. Not just at the polls. A simple vote is not enough anymore. You need to be aware of what is going on in your government and write your senators and let them know what you think.
