My letter to Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson . A reader sent me a response letter from his office that just hit wrong today.
Johnson replaced Cynthia McKinney.

I hear he is somewhat smarter.

Congressman Johnson,

Your form letter to a voter (below) on solutions to the organized crime of illegal immigration and employment brilliantly illustrates either your lack of awareness – or your unwillingness to face the facts. Either way, it proves that you sir, are part of the problem. If you feel better that much of Congress and the president are also part of the problem… don’t.

We have proven that legalization does not stop illegal immigration or illegal employment ( we had an amnesty in 1986 and several thereafter, please look it up).

Since the mid nineties, in San Diego, we have also proven that a fence works – that radical right winger Bill Clinton built a border fence there that stopped illegal immigration by a factor of about 90% and reduced crime on both sides of the border. Please have a staffer check this out as well.

Increasing immigration is national suicide. We are taking in far too many immigrants already. The prediction is that we will have a population of about 450 million in 2050 ( most Americans regard this as bad news Congressman).

Maybe you haven’t heard, at more than a million a year, we take in more immigration than any other nation on the planet. Here in Atlanta, we were running out of water long before the current drought. There are plans to make I-75 twenty- three lanes wide to accommodate the traffic we suffer with each day. Our children are being schooled in temporary buildings because we cannot keep up with the population boom caused mostly by immigration. Ask some of your voters around the district. Assimilation is not working so well in today’s America. English is an optional language and we are called names for saying that the rule of law should be applied equally.

As we were taught in the sixties.

No one who has read the constitution or bill of rights has been able to find a civil right to be an illegal alien or an illegal employer. We also can see that civil rights are for those pesky citizens. No one has found a loophole in the oath of office that you and all of our government officials have taken to obey the law and defend the constitution.

On the silly myth that it is impossible to deport illegals: Most of us can plainly see that if Mexico can move millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. – we can move them out ( like Mexico does with its own illegal aliens). There is no one -way valve on the border. I’ve been there many times.

It is not necessary to deport all of the illegal aliens. As various states are proving all over the nation, enforcement works. Where the law is being enforced, illegal aliens are leaving. The concept has a name: Attrition through enforcement. Ask a staffer.

You should go and speak to the Americans – of all descriptions – who live on our southern border about their life without security. Ask them about the fearless and murderous Mexican drug smugglers who control the border corridors. While you are there, ask the local sheriffs and Border Patrol Agents about apprehending illegal aliens from middle east countries which sponsor terrorism.

Ask them if they think there is a price that is “prohibitive” involved in securing America and ridding ourselves of the potential terrorists and the taxpayer subsidized black market labor that you protect for your campaign donors in the name of reason and lack of practicality.

We were attacked in 2001, please have a staffer look up “war on terror” and “securing the homeland”.

We already have a no cost federal system of verifying the eligibility of newly hired employees – it is called E-VERIFY. It works. Please have a staffer check this out. Or ask a corporate lobbyist at lunch about how this system became voluntary when implemented.

Ask an American military veteran who has been placed in VA category 8g about the no cost medical care he/she was promised as a recruit. These vets have been held up to a VA means test and have been told that they are not eligible for their promised free medical care. Ask them about their tax dollars going to pay for the medical care of the illegal aliens – no questions asked – you say we cannot deport.

Ask me. I am a fifty-five year -old category 8g vet.

I urge you to expand your talking points beyond the mindless pabulum provided by LaRaza/MALDEF and the rest of the un-American open borders coalition of corporate America and the far left.

YUCK Congressman.

Dear Ms. ****

Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding illegal immigration. I welcome feedback from my constituents and appreciate your interest.

The Senate’s recent attempt to draft and pass comprehensive immigration reform revealed the contentious and complicated nature of the issue. Unfortunately, the defeat of the bipartisan proposal means the nation is no closer to resolving the immigration problem or improving immigration policy. That is why a compromise must be reached and comprehensive reform must be adopted.

First, the flow of illegal immigrants must be stopped. This can be achieved by training and deploying more agents to the border. Deporting the millions of unlawfully present immigrants is not a viable option; the identification, apprehension, and removal of millions of individuals is impractical, invasive, and prohibitively expensive.

Next, Congress must act to eradicate the backlog of immigrant applications to ensure legal avenues exist for individuals who desire to come to the U.S. for legitimate reasons. And we must also make available resources for companies to verify the immigration status of foreign workers so they can avoid hiring illegal employees. Preventing and prosecuting the hiring of undocumented workers without a national database to verify social security numbers makes law enforcement difficult if not impossible.

I know the immigration debate is far from over, yet a solution must be reached. As your congressman, I will work toward brokering a comprehensive solution to the immigration problem.

I am always eager to hear your concerns and look forward to working with you in the future. For more information, please visit my office online at HankJohnson.House.gov. Thank you again for contacting me.

Sincerely,

Hank Johnson
