THE DREAM ACT IS DEAD!

Yesterday the Dream Act came up in Congress for a vote and it failed (thank God!). Finally Congress is using its head and listening to the American people. I believe with the upcoming election illegal immigration is going to be the core point on who is elected or not. True the press doesn’t want you to think that way and as we all know the press is pro-democrat (sad to say), but I am starting to see a trend within the American people, they are getting fed up with the issue of illegal immigration and nothing being done about it. I know I have been blogging a lot about this issue but to me this is a very important issue that affects every single American and there is no denying it, something has to be done before it is too late for our country.

The question here is what are you going to do about it? When you vote next time will it be with your head, heart, or for your party? This time when I vote it will be for the candidate that is strongest on immigration reform (I know I just shock you on that one didn’t I?). We as Americans have to send a message to our government that they need to take care of this issue and stop trying to grant people that came to our country illegally with rights. I was absolutely floored this week when I was helping my son with his homework and in the back of his textbook they had a special section glossary all in Spanish! I was like, hello we are in the United State and for the most part English is spoken here so why does this textbook have a Spanish glossary in it? Trivial, well maybe but lets look at the big picture here, by having a Spanish glossary in the back of this textbook aren’t the publishers of this textbook enabling people not to learn English and what a slap in the face for people from other countries (nonhispanics) that come here to live that don’t speak English, why didn’t the publishers have other languages besides Spanish in their textbook? See where I am going with this? Bottom line here is we have to stop catering to people that cannot speak English and we have to stop giving people that come here illegally government benefits! Side note here just to prove my point, my husband told me the other day that he knows someone who has been in this country for twenty plus years and still can’t hardly speak one word of English! Why you say, well because there is no need for this person to learn English because everything is printed up in Spanish and everywhere this persons goes they expect someone to translate for them. That to me is just horrid, if you are coming to another country to live you should learn the language! No wonder it is a mess here.

The other reason I am so big on immigration reform is that the United States cannot handle this kind of population growth, there is just not enough resources to handle the masses that come here undocumented. If our government keeps letting the wave of undocumented masses come to our country then in time America could very well become a third world country itself. Do you want that to happen? Do you want to see America so overpopulated to the point that we have people living on top of people? Do you want to see America plagued by disease and starvation? Do you want to see America for the most part jobless and poor because there are not enough jobs to go around? Grim picture yes but it could happen if nothing gets done to stop people from coming here illegally. Remember this, the terrorist that attacked on 9/11 came here undocumented and I find it appalling of our government to even entertain the idea of giving citizenship to people that come here illegally, after all do they really know who is here and what their agenda is?

Immigration reform is something every (legal) American needs to really think about when voting in the next election. Too much of taxpayer’s monies goes to supporting people that come here illegally. Don’t believe me then read my blog “Enough Already,” there you will see how much money goes to supporting people that come here illegally. Illegal immigration affects every single one of us in one way or another from jobs, education, cost of insurance, taxes, crime and medical expenses. I could go on and on with how illegal immigration affects us but I know you can research for yourself and see what it is doing to America. It just boggles me that the government doesn’t see it. I am going to list for you below those elected officials that voted for the Dream Act yesterday, please do your part and send them a message next time they come up for re-election and send them their walking papers. We need to let our government know we are not going to take it anymore and we want them to do the same on this issue. Together we can make America right again! Thanks for listening.
