As Promised--- An Open Letter

This past weekend Allan and I posted about our frustrations dealing with President Bush’s lack of action regarding illegal aliens.

I then took fingers to keyboard and wrote a letter to my Senator and Congresswoman.

I ask that you take a moment to read what follows.  It is not exactly what I sent because in my version I personalized it to my role as a blog writer, LEGAL immigrant, prolific writer of letters to the editor and my representatives, etc.

This one’s a bit more generalized and I encourage you to copy and paste it to letters you write your own Congress-critters.  Of course, this would have more effect if mailed to Republican lawmakers and if you personalized it yourself.  Congress-critters getting the same letters numerous times make them not pay as much attention.  However, they need to know we’re on to them and their shenanigans.  If you do send it to Dummycraps, please modify accordingly or you’ll look like an idiot.

Dear Congressman/woman/Senator:

I’ve recently read some very troubling things regarding illegal immigration and President Bush’s position on this issue.

I could go into great detail here but in order to keep this short will point out the salient points which are all verifiable.

--President Bush called the Minuteman Project volunteers “vigilantes.” He couldn’t be further from the truth.

--President Bush met with Vincente Fox basically telling him he will do everything in his power to make it easier for Mexicans to come across the borders.

--The INS was promised 10,000 agents to patrol our borders.  They got funded 200.

--We’ve had a 23% increase in illegal aliens streaming across our borders the past year—many with families because they know our laws are so lax that they won’t get kicked out.

--Feel-good immigration bills related to drivers’ licenses have been passed with so many loopholes an aircraft carrier could sail through them.

--We have small towns in America that are not getting any attention from the Federal government in helping them stem the tide of illegals.  Local police officials are powerless to do anything as this is a federal matter.  Meanwhile illegals run free.

--Many states are having to close down hospitals because they can’t afford the cost of taking care of illegals.

--Illegals are deported only to come right back with no means to control their ingress.

Allow me to tell you something, (Senator or Congressman/woman), I worked HARD! DAMNED HARD! to get President Bush re-elected.  Is this how we are to be treated for our efforts?  A virtual dead silence and paucity of STRONG, CONCISE legislation coupled with a seeming fear of taking on the President? (not to mention your Democrat “friends” across the aisle.)

Have you forgotten what the word ILLEGAL means?  These people come here, break our laws and then we house them, clothe them, feed them, give them government aid, allow their kids to go to our schools---all the while they pay nothing in taxes.  They are ILLEGAL!!! They are breaking our laws!!!!  Why are they allowed to do so?

Meanwhile they send BILLIONS of US dollars back to Mexico.  No wonder Vincente Fox wants opens borders.  The more illegals here sending money to him, the less HE has to spend to take care of them!  Are you people in Congress so arrogant you think we, the public, are ignorant of all this?

It is time, sir.  (ma’am) Time to take action.  If I do not see any POSITIVE, DEFINITIVE ACTION from Congress putting actual teeth into our laws and making illegal immigration ILLEGAL again, you can rest assured that I will devote all my efforts and those of my friends in the blogging world to making sure those who put the security of our nation second to grandstanding and vote-getting by Hispanics do not get re-elected. You will recall, it was the action of bloggers like myself that got the President elected and got Kerry discredited.  This is a two way street.

Furthermore, as much as it pains me, I may even cross party lines in the next election in 2006 and the next Presidential election in 2008.  This situation is intolerable.

The safety and security of our country is dependent on secure borders.  Our current policies and “turning a blind-eye” attitude make a mockery of it.

How in the world can Americans be expected to trust their elected politicians to protect and defend them when all this nonsense is allowed to go on?  Is it any wonder elected officials are held in such low esteem?

I look forward to hearing about POSITIVE, ACTIONABLE, LOOPHOLE-LESS legislation not only proposed but PASSED.  Very quickly, too, I might add.  Or you will leave me and many others like me no alternative but to actively work at defeating everyone currently in office.

You may think I am blustering.  You may even think I am threatening you and as such you casually toss this aside as just another rant.  That could not be further from the truth.

I do not threaten.  But I will use all the power available to me through email, contacts, letters, action, money and information campaigns to keep the pressure on.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
