It will change the U.S. security and economy forever. It is another disastrous amnesty Bill. It tells the world that anyone can come here illegally, sweat it out for awhile, then become emboldened because our irresponsible leaders give free perks and privileges like our Social Security for free, and health care for free, to 12 million illegals. Already these illegals are marching for their "American rights". If this amnesty giveaway is finally voted on by our entire Congress, possibly in five years our no longer sovereign nation may be called Meximerica and our dollars may be called Ameros, and the upcoming super international highway linking the U.S. with Canada and Mexico will make us one Country instead of three separate countries. Amnesty will surely speed up these plans about which our leaders have not consulted We The People. We must tell Congress that this amnesty Bill could finally lose us our Country. The Republican party would barely or no longer exist, and the Democrats will make all our decisions, and God help us then. Wake up America Tell the House of Representatives to vote NO on this convoluted messy Bill. Of course, the American business community loves this Bill. They are salivating about the available cheap labor, but couldn’t care less about the negative effects on our economy. It’s the same problem about our leaders condoning our free trade policy whereby those we trade with are getting stronger, and we are becoming weaker and acquiring bigger and bigger trade deficits. Final thought: Why is President Bush fighting so desperately to instill democracy in the Middle East, which would be good for the world, while at the same time he is willing to give up our own sovereignty to a tri-country alliance with Mexico and Canada? Another final thought: The U.S. population is now 300 million, probably not even including the 12 million illegals. Wouldn’t it be wise at this time to put a moratorium on all immigration, both legal and illegal, for the foreseeable future, until such time when we could absorb more people without wrecking the American economy altogether.
