Immigrants Rights...

Here is one letter I found in the newspaper this morning which I agree with totally.
-------------
"The demonstrations Monday only proves one thing: Demonstrating is not the answer to immigration policies. Seeing individuals carrying Mexican flags and disrupting businesses is an insult to the hard-working Americans, who are in the United States legally, paying taxes and contributing to the welfare of this country.

What makes any of the demonstrators think that disrupting other hard-working Americans will gain support? While I support the need for clear and fair immigration policies in the United States, there is a clear need for illegal immigrants, prior to getting citizenship, to learn English, pay a fair fine for being in this country illegally and pay their share of taxes. They also should learn to be respectful of this country and not deface and abuse the communities in which they illegally are living in."

And a portion of another letter reads:

"Today, we have illegal immigrants not respecting our laws or our country, demanding rights of citizenship without being citizens."
----------------
These people should realize that they would not, could not, get away with this in any other country. Other countries would track them down and deport them very quickly. Even I, as a tourist in Thailand legally for the 30 days permitted, would be tracked down and deported if I did nothing wrong other than overstay my permitted time in the country.

So come on folks, do what is right and by all means learn the English language so you can sing the Star Spangled Banner in English and become a citizen through diligence and hard work and please, follow the rules.
