Send ‘invaders’ back

Dear editor:

I am aware that many people are fed up with illegals coming into America. They have everything to gain and our children have everything to lose. These illegals are using our tax dollars to support themselves in every way. They are taking and getting what rightly belongs to American children. How gullible are we?

Time and again we are told that illegals don’t get government benefits … That’s a big fat lie! Just because illegal aliens are not legally entitled to benefits, does not mean they do not apply for and receive them. Benefits illegal aliens have received are grants, professional accreditation, loans, disability, public housing, college education, public education, unemployment benefits, tax credits from state and federal agencies, and let’s not forget WIC and food stamps, and emergency medical care.

How about your children … have they gotten this too? Are some just privileged? Your children will be competing in the world of the future for money and decreasing opportunities to go to college, get jobs, have good doctors, housing, land, food, clothing, transportation, you name it and “it” keeps getting more difficult for the average American Joe to grasp. It’s one thing to compete with other Americans for these things, but does it make sense to welcome people who don’t give a flip about you, your children or our country to take advantage of us and our country.

Apparently, the bleeding hearts are blinded and not aware of these consequences. Can’t they see that they are encouraging and perpetuating an endless flow of aliens to dominate this race for the “American dream.” These aliens who want to take advantage are more than happy that Americans are too ignorant to see and aren’t doing enough to stop this rampage.

When I hear someone in our government speak for more poor immigrants to enter our country, I always listen for their last name, or question their allegiance to the America of my father (a war vet). The allegiance that should belong to the children whose fathers fought for their children to have a better life, not some alien. I’m not against small numbers of legal immigrants who are eager to meld and assimilate into God-fearing Americans who love this country as much as I do.

It’s always the poor little children. Children who will one day be big, huge grown-ups, wanting to pop out babies like gumballs and have even more people like them come, from who knows where. Then, they can be the ones in control of who gets what. Forget about those old Americans and their children. Read about other civilizations that let this happen to them … It’s sad!

I just want “my America” back before it’s too late to save it for our children! Send them back to their country so they can fight for their rights and their country, like we did for ours. But, don’t allow them to fight us for what generations of our families have sacrificed our blood, sweat and tears to keep. The “American dream” belongs to “Americans,” it doesn’t belong to invaders who so desperately want to take it from U.S.
