I'm 63 and Tired

I too, am glad that I won’t be around to see the America I knew and loved turn from freedom to communism. I could not bear it.

I truly am heartbroken about what is happening to our country. I will never give up fighting for our rights and our country in any way I can. But, at present my heart hurts.

I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need.

What a steaming heap of crap. This country was founded on the Rule of Law. We don't want people who broke our laws by illegally entering this country and committing other related crimes, including working. You don't reward them with citizenship. The immigrants we need are those who came here legally. Advocating amnesty is not what this country is about.

Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.

I am not even close to 63, but I am damn tired too. I am tired of watching everything I worked hard for in life being taken from me and my children and then handed over to some lazy bum sitting on a sofa all day and spitting out babies so they can collect more freebies. Not only do they gladly take it, they do not say thanks and act like you OWE it to them!

Either you expect to die very soon or you think this is going to take much longer than I expect it to. I am about to turn 66 and barring a miracle I expect to be around to see a lot more than I can stomach. Hell’s bells, I have already seen enough to make me puke my guts out.

I have twenty years and a few months before I will reach my grandfather’s age at death, that should be VASTLY more than long enough to finish the destruction of America if we don’t turn around very soon. I am worrying about how we get through the next twenty MONTHS, let alone twenty years.
