Hispanic tells it like it is (Write your Senators and Congressmen)

  This is from a  Hispanic who lives in Texas.  He's had a column in the  Fort  Worth Star Telegram  and as you can see,
  expresses himself very well.

 ASLEEP  AT THE WHEEL!
 I can almost assure you that everyone who is a true American was sickened when you saw multitudes of protesters  
 carrying Mexican flags protesting the new Immigration Reform Bill in the Senate. This display of Mexican flags should
 give you a heads up on where these protesters allegiance lies  their hearts are in  Mexico and their bellies are in
 theUnited States.  As an American of Mexican Heritage I want to set the record straight, American Hispanics are not all
 thrilled with illegal immigration.  I, for more than 20 years, tried desperately to bring this national debacle to the
 attention of the American people. I had the privilege of writing for several newspapers, appeared on national and local
 TV and radio programs, and was asked by many political groups to address this serious problem affecting my former
 community (north  Fort Worth), city, state, and our country. Many will question how I can speak on this subject with
 some authority. My simple answer is: I lived  with the problem! Trust me, it was no picnic. Never in my life (I'm 68) had I
 witnessed the lawlessness, the deterioration of my community, and the black market criminal underground activities
 attributed to the influx of illegal immigrants.

<> To add injury to insult, politicians soon caved in to the many demands of illegal immigrants. Notably: bilingual
 education, bilingual ballots, welfare aid, free medical care, etc. Through all this national disgrace allowed by our
 politicians, have you all noticed that no one ever blames the useless, corrupt, and disgraceful government
 of Mexico? In contrast, they lambaste and criticize our country. How does that grab you?
 When I addressed the dangers of our porous border between Mexico and the United States, and the lax security of our 
 nation, no one paid attention. As I observed the situation, the problem was perceived to be between American Hispanic
 communities and illegal immigrants. White Americans  it seemed assumed that the problem was not theirs to deal with.
<> In other words they were, asleep at the wheel. However, 9-11 soon woke them up. Lets be honest with each other here,
 white Americans vote in far larger numbers than Hispanics do. And most politicians (Democrats and Republicans) in our
 city, state, and  federal governments are white. Thus, who is more suited to fix this national
 disaster?  I'm sure most of you know what the answer is.

 In summation, I'm pleading with white American voters to join me in sending our politicians (Democrats and 
 Republicans) a strong message that we will not tolerate illegal immigrants telling us how to make government policy
 that will make it easier for them to break our laws.
 
Hope you will join me in this  endeavor in our upcoming elections.

 that we will not give up our country!
