Letter to the Editor
This appears in the most recent edition of the San Bernardino County Sun:
There has never been a better time to reform immigration law. The problems we are all facing today are multiplied tenfold for immigrants. When you combine fear of exploitation, deportation or incarceration with poverty, lack of health care and lack of education, you get a hopelessness that resonates beyond the immigrant community and affects us all. We can begin solving problems in California and the U.S. by crushing the "illegal alien" mentality that allows one group of people to make scapegoats out of another. We all have to stop blaming and pointing fingers and begin embracing one another. Only through a united effort will we pull ourselves out of the pit we have dug for ourselves through ignorance and overindulgence. It is going to take effort on everyone's part; we need every person to be strong, confident and free of fear, if we expect to emerge a healthy and strong nation. We need to welcome all hands capable of hard work, we need to protect human rights by forcing employers to pay a living wage to all and end the double standard that makes it OK to ignore the rights and liberties of any person regardless of their status as a citizen. We need to stop blaming our drug crisis on other countries, we need to admit and be proud that we are a multilingual, multicultural nation. Many of us will need to make hard decisions about raising taxes and stop living like royalty while others struggle to scrape by. CATHERINE R. SUTTON Redlands

I know a lot better than this schtick.
The very best thing we can do is enforce our existing immigration laws, and both those who are here according to the law and those who are proponents of the law need to become one as fellow citizens. No one can help but be who and what they are through their life experiences, foreign or domestic, but those in the extended American generations need to become a part of us, and vice versa. Screw that "multicultural" crap concerning people who grew up as Americans and through cultivated racism pretend to be something else.

You can live up to your rhetoric and start with the Valdez family in Laredo...
Tell us how you did with them. And while you're at it, you can buy a couple gross of Korans and burn them too. Get some film.

Long Beach Press-Telegram
LB Press- Telegram, Sept. 20 issue, page B11
Not Everyone's Dream The resurrected Dream Act is a dream all right, but not for the taxpayers footing the bill who are unfairly left out of this pie in the sky. Yes, some of the immigrants here because of their parents' wayward ideologies are hard working, but what about the citizens they are displacing? What about the depressed wages? This is really a sweeping amnesty for illegal aliens who only have to meet minimal educational requirements. It would take educational resources and job opportunities away from legal immigrants and citizens. It would give free college education to illegals because low income students get federal taxpayer funded grants. This will provoke more and more people to cross our borders illegally. Our economy is rapidly declining and the stimulus money will take generations to pay back, so now is not the time to be giving more money away. And, just because taxpayers do not want to go broke from all those freebies doesn't mean we are racists. Virginia Johnson South Gate
