At this point in our Country’s history it is being attacked at home and abroad. Our County’s foundation is being tested each time we question the values that made us great.

We hear that we are wrong or it is immoral to protect our country from radical invaders from the south or across the seas. We have a set of invaders coming up from our southern boarders, looking for a free pass to a dream they only want part of. They are not willing to join us as full citizens learning our language or embracing the chance to be called Americans. Insteand they would rater be individuals living among us using every bit of our resources, from gas to hospitalization and our jobs. Bleeding the resources of this country dry. Then we have the terrorist that would like to wipe America and our friends off the face of the earth for religious beliefs. Who is more intolerant, America or the illegal immigrates that could care less about the laws of this country and the fundamental radicals, blowing up schools and market places in the name of Ala?

First, do not be sucked into the debate on illegal immigration. Our forefathers had this fight at the being of this great country’s birth. Don’t think that the only way to come to America and work is to become an American. We have a pass called a work visa. We have people from all over the world come to America for a short time and then go home each year. We have laws in place to stop illegal immigrants and the businesses that use them. Put up a wall and it will help, use the laws with the wall and it will stop illegal immigration. Untie the hands of the law official’s so they can deport the illegal immigrants when they find them. Then let them prosecute the businesses that use the illegal immigrants. Don’t believe that Americans will not do the jobs that only the illegal immigrants will do. What happens when those illegally here become citizens of this country? Will they still do the job that they had when they were illegal at the same price? I worked on a farm while in high school and there are millions of American families that have been working on farms for generations. The other great thing about our forefathers, when challenged with a problem like a shortage of workers, they found new ways to beat the problem with good old American know how. Something the rest of the world used to look up to us for, till a few years ago when our leaders started selling us out to the lowest bidders or those who can fill their pockets for their re-election campaign.

Second, to the American people that cry about America fighting the terrorist across the sea. Stop! We were attacked and not just on September 11, 2001! We have been fighting this fight for years. The moment Iran held our love ones hostage and we did nothing, to the bombings of our embassies in Africa, the first attack on the trade centers and the attack on the Cole and all the hijackings and killings in between. Some people are tired of this fight, saying, "Bring our solders home!" Now is not the time to surrender to the radical terrorist across the sea. Are we ready to say we quit and willing to let the light of freedom blow out in the Middle East? If the answer is yes, then we are no better then the terrorist that hides behind the women and children as the kill our soldiers. We are over in Iraq and Afghanistan not just to protect our freedoms here at home; we are also there to protect the women and children of those countries. When we run from this fight in the Middle East and let our friends perish to these cockroaches, the terrorist would like nothing more than to undermine God’s given right for all people to be free and to have the ability to live in peace. Then we will have those same cockroaches come here with the intent to destroy the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is the foundation for the American liberty and what the brave Americans were fighting for in past generations. We must stay the course and make sure we are not the last generation of Americans. I would hate to be known as the generation that was more into it-self then the generation that stood up for our country and freed the world of these radical terrorists. Which will we be known for?
