ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

This is from a Hispanic who lives inTexas. He's had a column in the
Fort Worth Star Telegram and as you can see, expresses himself very
well.

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

I can almost assure you that everyone who is a true American was
sickened when you saw multitudes of protesters carrying Mexican flags
protesting the new Immigration Reform Bill in the Senate. This display
of Mexican flags should give you a heads up on where these protesters
allegiance lies their hearts are inMexicoand their bellies are in the
United States.
As an American of Mexican Heritage I want to set the record
straight, American Hispanics are not all thrilled with illegal
immigration. I, for more than 20 years, tried desperately to bring
this national debacle to the attention of the American people. I had
the privilege of writing for several newspapers, appeared on national
and local TV and radio programs, and was asked by many political groups
to address this serious problem affecting my former community (north
Fort Worth), city, state, and our country. Many will question how I
can speak on this subject with some authority. My simple answer is: I
lived with the problem! Trust me, it was no
picnic. Never in my life (I'm 68) had I witnessed the lawlessness, the
deterioration of my community, and the black market criminal
underground activities attributed to the influx of illegal immigrants.
To add injury to insult, politicians soon caved in to the many
demands of illegal immigrants. Notably: bilingual education, bilingual
ballots, welfare aid, free medical care, etc. Through all this national
disgrace allowed by our politicians, have you all noticed that no one
ever blames the useless, corrupt, and disgraceful government ofMexico?
In contrast, they
lambaste and criticize our country. How does that grab you?
When I addressed the dangers of our porous border betweenMexico
and theUnited States, and the lax security of our nation, no one paid
attention. As I observed the situation, the problem was perceived to be
between American Hispanic communities and illegal immigrants. White
Americans it seemed assumed that the problem was not theirs to deal
with. In other words they were, asleep at the wheel. However, 9-11
soon woke them up. Lets be honest with each other here, white Americans
vote in far larger numbers than
Hispanics do. And most politicians (Democrats and Republicans) in our
city, state, and federal governments are white. Thus, who is more
suited to fix this national disaster? I'm sure most of you know what
the answer is.
In summation, I'm pleading with white American voters to join me
in sending our politicians (Democrats and Republicans) a strong message
that we will not tolerate illegal immigrants telling us how to make
government policy that will make it easier for them to break our laws.
Hope you will join me in this endeavor in our upcoming elections.
