Jeez Jim couldn’t even try and attempt to give a shite about a response to the Comprehensive Amnesty Bill. What a absolute disaster. A big thanks to the people of Virginia who elected this fool.
My letter to Senator Webb, via his online form:
Senator Webb,
I am a 21-year-old citizen of the Commonwealth from birth and an undergraduate engineer at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
I expect to graduate in late 2008 and fully desire to live and work in the Information Technology field here in Northern Virginia.
I am writing to request that you, as a fellow Virginian, vote NO to the amnesty bill in the Senate.
My parents immigrated here legally in the 1980s and have faced significant hardship in all their years here, up until 2005 when my mom died of a heart attack brought on by her diabetes.
We were never able to privately obtain health insurance because of her health problems, and my dad’s employer did not offer health benefits.
My dad’s employer, however, was eager to hire illegal aliens, pay them cash under the table, and willfully evade his tax obligations.
My dad has since moved to a new employer.
It is distressing to read that the citizenship my dad worked 10 long years to get is now being given away.
It is distressing to learn that the Senate is considering short-changing college students like me by allowing illegally present persons of college age to enroll at in-state tuition rates, receive federal financial aid, and take advantage of affirmative action rules.
It is distressing to learn that this amnesty legislation will cost U.S. taxpayers trillions over the next forty years and beyond.
It is distressing and a slap in the face to be called a bigot by your colleagues, including Sen. Graham of SC and Sen. Lott of MS.
It is disheartening to learn that my generation will be forced to shoulder the burden of this amnesty bill, the collapse of Social Security, and the rapidly increasing federal debt.
It is utterly demoralizing to learn that the our esteemed Senate believes in one law for the citizens, no law for themselves and others.
Please vote no on this bill, and please demand that President Bush to ENFORCE the law. The existing law. It is his Constitutionally ordained DUTY.
Please give us hope that we are still a nation of laws and not of men. Please give my sister and me hope that we have not been sold down the river, as slaves to the monster that is the U.S. Government, to pay for the personal ambitions and the corrupt bargains of a few treacherous Senators and a globalist President.
Very Respectfully,
[name]
