On the border with Nancy

As Chrysler's recovery plan using tax payer money is rejected by President Obama, and we watch more hard earned American taxpayer dollars swirling around the drain preparatory to being sucked down, I am steamed up about another even more vital issue.

A week or two ago, Nancy Pelosi gave a pro-immigration speech to a group of legal and illegal Mexicans in San Francisco. She calls them patriotic, and some or all of them may be, but if they are in this country illegally, they are breaking the law.

This speech decries enforcement of existing laws that prohibit businesses from hiring illegal aliens. Pelosi is among those liberals who love to say that no American Citizen would do some of the jobs vacated by those illegals who are rounded up during these raids. The facts are that after raids those jobs are usually quickly filled by legal citizens. Today, with American unemployment at nearly 20% in some parts of the country does anyone doubt that any job vacated can quickly be filled?

It seems to me that Speaker Pelosi is encouraging people to break the law. We the People who obey the laws of the land are left to 'go fish' as she embraces those who break them.

Shouldn't we feel compassion toward those families who have undertaken the arduous journey to enter our country? Yes we should, and we should do what we can to help Mexico as she struggles to overcome years of bad government, but we can't afford to host the entire population of Mexico .

Wake up Pelosi, Reid, and you Senator McCain who should know better!

Just as opening up a vein will only supply only six quarts of blood before you've bled out and you can provide no more, America is already financially bled out! We're broke folks, and none of your posing, posturing, pronouncements, or promises will change that.

We the people know that you are all viewing those people as votes. If you can just give them amnesty, they will vote for you. Well, we the People are voters too. We're the folks who have been reluctant to get mixed up in the nasty business of politics, but we are still the backbone of America and you haven't broken us yet!

The video and transcript of Pelosi's speech are available from Californians for Population Stabilization. Note that as she panders, she still manages to patronize.

Here's a petition. asking President Obama to enforce existing laws. I signed this petition, but I'm still going to write Pelosi a letter. (I'm not picking on her sending two letters in a row--well maybe I am.) I hope you'll sign the petition or send a letter or both....

Dear Madam Speaker,

I have watched a video and read the transcript of your speech to legal and illegal Mexicans in San Francisco.

Did you mean to encourage breaking existing law and to denounce enforcement of the laws of the people and land you represent (I mean the citizens and the United States of America here -that's correct isn't it?) Did you mean to say that the enforcement of American law is UnAmerican?

Sometimes it's hard for the ordinary middle class or lower class tax paying citizen to recognize any representation in Government today. I hope we can count on you to keep us in mind as you challenge laws that were put in place for our benefit.

Sincerely yours,

Linda G.
