I just sent this letter to Boxer and Feinstein.
An open letter to Congress
For too many years, Americans have sat back and let the people they have elected to office run this country. We have said “well, they seem to know what they are doing”. After all, we have to go to work, raise a family, pay bills, make dinner, and god forbid, we cannot miss our favorite television program. Then we look up from our busy lives and find that this great country we have entrusted to those “elected officials” has completely gone to hell in a hand basket.
This letter is being sent to inform those of you in Congress that those days are gone. And they are gone forever.
For the last two decades, you have allowed our laws not to be enforced, our borders not to be controlled, and the result is people who have no legal right to be in this country are marching in the streets by the tens of thousands making demands. Now you want to give into those demands - not this time. In the 1980’s, amnesty was given to millions of illegal people and this only opened the flood gates because our borders were not properly controlled.
The primary function of the Federal Government is to protect the sovereignty of these united states. You have failed to perform the primary task for which you were elected. You have forgotten that you are employees of the American people. This letter is your notice that if you do not do the job you were sent to perform, you will be replaced with someone who will complete this task.
Task number one - Close and control our borders. If it takes a fence, wall, airplanes, electronics, satellites, or National Guard members every fifty feet along our border, then DO IT.
Task number two - Enforce our employment laws. Set up a secure website tried into the social security database. Employers can log into this website using their employer tax ID and a password, input a name, social security number, and a date of birth to check current and future hires. If the information does not match, the person being checked cannot be hired or continued to be employed. Every quarter the employer should be required to recheck employees. If employers do not comply, enforce the current laws and prosecute them.
Task number Three - If those who are in this country illegally are not able to work, they will leave. Set up a temporary guest worker program that can only be applied for in other countries at our embassies or other approved places. Every person who applies will be thoroughly checked for good health, a criminal record in all countries, and any other standard which would apply.
Once a person is approved, they are given proper ID and paperwork which is then input into the social security database, which will expire after the temporary limit has been reached.
So members of Congress, these are your tasks. Remember we, your employer - the American people, are watching you and there is an election coming up soon. Will you do your job and continue being employed or will you be replaced - the choice is yours. Isn’t America great, we all still have choices.
I read every word of your open letter twice. It expresses every thought that has been swirling around in my head. Thank you for the post.
Saxby is one of mine- used to think he was a good guy.
He just placed himself in the "I am a braying, elitist jackass" column, and I will move heaven and earth to see him replaced.
Even a dam' Democrat might be better.
