Wednesday, April 19, 2006 Page 9B Commentary Letters to the editor Immigrants must become legal, contribute to society

In order to protect the great nation our founders intended America to be, we must accept the cold, hard facts. We must protect our borders. The current condition of illegal immigrants living, working and receiving government assistance in America is deplorable. Using the excuse that American workers don’t want the jobs currently held by illegals is misrepresentative of the truth. American workers are good workers and are willing to work hard for pay that is fair and reasonable. Every dollar big business saves employing illegals who work for diminished wages costs us tax dollars in food stamps, WIC, medical care and other social services. This adds insult to injury for the already displaced America workers who now lose their social services as well. The interests and standard of living of tax-paying, hard- working American citizens are more important than those of big business fat cats trying to get richer. The quality of life of the average American is being driven into the ground. We must require immigrants who want to live and work here to become citizens, pay taxes, become literate in our language, thereby becoming productive members of the society that provides for and supports them. If we don’t rectify this situation soon and start protecting and providing for our own, we will cease to be a great nation. Our general population will become as beleaguered and impoverished as our neighbor’s. Jack Streeter Mountain Home Ihli is a tireless, honest candidate for commissioner by Aaron Cobb, Homedale
