Mary Kirkendoll/Letter to the Editor: Americans want their country back

Published: 11/08/2007

Rich Pellegrino writes a good fairy tale, but now, for some facts.

The Federal Immigration & Nationality Act, Sec. 8, USC 1324, states, “A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, OR local government) commits a federal felony when he or she:

* assists an alien he should reasonably know is illegally residing in the U.S., or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering or assisting him or her to gain employment,

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

That means, Mr. Pellegrino, the ADL, the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, the ACLU, MALDEF, La Raza, builders, contractors, landscapers, chicken processors and the carpet industry, as well as hotels, restaurants, sanctuary cities and yes, our federal government are committing felonies.

American citizens are fed up with the total disregard of the laws of this land, and we want our country back.
