Calling illegals ‘illegals’ does not ‘dehumanize’ them
August 27, 2009

DEAR EDITOR:

Including my wife, who is a legal immigrant, at our house we grow weary of the despicable habit of those on the left who associate nearly every victimized group in history with the illegal aliens who have no respect for American laws. Except, of course those laws that give them free medical care, education, translation and virtual immunity from punishment for invading our nation. They, along with those who employ them should be punished so severely that they stop their crime spree.

Mark Webb’s Friday letter (“Don’t muddy health fix with anti-illegals hysteria) aimed at D.A. King and “ObamaCare” is quite similar to many others I have read from people who will stop at nothing when attacking those who pay attention, have the courage to speak up and want illegal immigration to end by securing the border and enforcing the law instead of by opening our borders and granting amnesty.

No matter what they say I don’t trust the liberals in Congress or Obama as far as I could toss them on a windy day. Especially not on immigration or health care. Particularly not when I can see that they will not allow any meaningful check of who may end up with taxpayer funded public health insurance as proposed by Obama. Illegals are scammers and have massive support from the left. With that help, they would soon learn how to scam the national health care system to get even more medical benefits than they are now.

I am grateful for King’s insightful and useful columns. They provide me with news and facts that seem to be missing from the daily media reports. I need only to look around Cobb County to see that he is correct.

Another thing about Webb’s letter: he says that the Dustin Inman Society was a group that was “successful in scuttling President Bush’s 2004 plans for reform of our immigration laws and continue to demonize the undocumented today.”

“Comprehensive Immigration Reform” is code for legalization and constantly increased immigration until we have open borders and everyone knows it.

I agree that the Dustin Inman Society helped stop the Bush amnesty plans. Good for them. I am grateful for that great work and King should be proud.

Stopping Bush in “2004” was admirable – even if the Dustin Inman Society wasn’t formed until 2005. I hope they stop Obama-amnesty too. I will help them.

Pointing out, as King often does, that illegals are illegal, that no group should be above the law and that Mexico deports nearly as many illegals each year as we do is not “dehumanizing” to most of us. Don’t be hysterical.

Webb’s letter was a template from the La Raza/ACLU crowd. We should expect to see many more of them.
