An Open Letter to My Senator

Below is an open letter to one of my Senators... Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Senator Hutchison:

I am disgusted by the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote yesterday to allow a six-year grace period for illegal aliens in this nation.

I am angered that the Senators on that committee caved in so easily to a few demonstrations by what must surely be the largest collection of un-American anarchist's in recent history. To see tens of thousands of Mexicans, waving the Mexican flag, carrying signs written in Spanish -- no doubt a large percentage of them illegal aliens -- protesting openly in the streets of America in support of blatant law breaking is totally disgusting.

What's happening here?

In recent years, the federal entity in Washington has given away tens of millions of decent-paying American jobs in every industry across America to foreign nations, replacing them with bottom-of-the-barrel, entry-level types of "service" jobs that provide no job security, no benefits and no future. Those Americans who suddenly found themselves in the unemployment line, not because they were fired, but because their job was given away by Washington, have often found these dismal, crappy Washington created jobs as the only choice of employment.

Millions of these now jobless Americans, accustomed to an income in the twenty dollar-an-hour range and living up to the modest standard of living that such a wage provided, quickly realized they could not possibly support themselves, their families, or even pay the rent with such jobs. Bankruptcy is the inevitable result.

How short-sighted or stupid people inside the beltline must be to think those Americans who have been forced into unemployment by the pro-business tactics of the Washington elite would accept one of those new jobs at minimum wage... or worse. Dumb and witless as we may be out here in the hinterlands, we can still figure out that a loss of over half our income just will not allow us to survive.

So Americans refuse those jobs, looking for (and desperately hoping) that they will find somewhere to work that will allow them to keep their home and maintain at least a bit of their previous standard of living.

Meanwhile, they use their numerous credit cards to keep things as normal as possible. You know full well what will happen when this activity reaches it's inevitable result.

Simple-minded people say "Go into business for yourself" and many try. But, they are not trained for such a move and don't have the time or money that would allow them to gain the experience needed to succeed. They just go under faster.

Washington's response?

1) - Repeat endlessly the idiotic claim that illegals are working only the jobs Americans won't do. In defense of Americans refusing to do those jobs, who in their right mind would take a job paying $800 a month when just their mortgage alone is higher than that"

2)- Allow millions of illegal aliens into America to keep the wheels of business -- and profits -- well oiled.

3)- Make the bankruptcy laws stiffer to deny relief to those put in financial peril by you beltline insiders, since you all know that millions of bankruptcies from maxed out credit card users are now coming down the pipeline.

4)- Make new law that gives these illegals a free ride and amnesty. A $1000 fine and a six-year window? Get serious!

5)- Add further insult to injury by allowing record-breaking profits to be made by the oil industry. $2.50 and up for a gallon of gas.. yessir... all those minimum-wage earners can handle that...

Senator, when will Washington own up to their horrid mistakes with all this "free trade" and "open borders" insanity?

Today's corporations are viciously anti-American in their quest for profit. They care not one whit about the condition they have put the average American in with their endless quest for more and more profit.

Senator, who do you support?

American citizens... or the insanely greedy businessmen running these world-wide corporations that have successfully lobbied Washington for massive job transfers, lower wages, no benefits, no job security, open and unprotected borders, no tariffs, no inspections, a massive illegal presence in our midst, and perhaps mortally wounded America's industrial engine in the process?

How insane is the idea that we must depend on China for the microchips used in our fighter aircraft and battle tanks?

This congress desperately needs to bite the bullet Senator, or bite the dust.
