I am an immigrant who came to the United States legally. From reading the news lately, I am wondering if I am still in the same country I immigrated to. I am angry and do not care who knows it.
When we are calling them "victims" and then putting illegal immigrants in our universities, illegally, and then letting them pay less tuition than a student from Tennessee or Florida, the outrageous problem of the lack of leadership and honor in our government becomes more clear.
We are losing our country.
When Cobb County Commissioners say they will continue to pay the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia with our tax dollars so that lobbyists can be hired to fight our immigration laws, the problem comes into focus on a local level. I know anti-immigration activist D.A. King and am proud to say that I have spent hours in the Capitol trying to help get state laws passed against illegal immigration. King is an honest man with courage and the ACCG has made a big mistake in saying they don't lobby against legislation. This is completely untrue. ACCG takes money from construction contractors too. It is apparently legal, but it wouldn't matter if weren't as it looks like the people in power make up their own rules.On top of all of this, ACCG and the Georgia Municipal Association are "non-profit" groups that don't pay income taxes. Nice deal for them while they lobby against us citizens.
The world seems to be turned upside down when the criminals get a forum to call the sheriff names for doing his job and college presidents go out of their way to aid assist and encourage illegals. I hope that more people than the illegal KSU student are watching over their shoulder for Sheriff Neil Warren.
I hope the voters remember what the Cobb Commissioners do with the ACCG and that everyone realizes that we all have to do something to stop illegal immigration. The first thing we can do is find a new Board of Commissioners. I will be at King's rallies and will go into the commissioners meetings.
I am very grateful to the MDJ for the honest coverage of these important issues and hope to see more and more reports on illegal immigration. Real immigrants deserve the protection of the laws. Illegals are not immigrants.
Thanks to D.A. King and Sheriff Warren, we may have a chance to save Cobb County and Georgia. We must work hard to save our nation.

Of course, there are the drug smugglers and human coyote smugglers, uh, well, maybe not, those remain jobs Americans won't do.
Dear heaven--you are the one with the flawed reasoning here. You are practicing "presentism" whereby you judge the history of yesterday by the mores of today. Howard Zinn was expert at that and got it in to our classrooms while we parents were working.
Anonymous is right. You would give the seats in the boat to the illegals because it satisfies your sense of history, (presentism). When your family has to give up a seat in the boat, your will be far less generous with America's (not yours alone) blessings.
She has helped build an America that people from 3rd world countries want to come to, but were too lazy and/or stupid to build this in their own countries. What have illegals contributed to their countries or ours without taking more than giving? If these "migrants" are so desirable, then why is Mexico remain a third world country?
Suddenly, after using cheap Hispanic labor in our poultry plants, work in restaurants, pick our industrial agricultural fields, build mega mansions and office buildings that enriched our capitalists, we have no more room in the life boat.
You choose to live at a point in time, an not in history.
Thank you for your patriotism and your thoughtful expression of it. I am happy you are here with us to stand firm for our country.
However, like you, I welcome those who, in the sense of Ellis Island, come to our shores legally.
We suffer a major intellectual problem among many of our folks today who do not understand that the boat si9 full now.
However I am quite in sync with your sentence, "The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." You must realize it was at a time when there was room in the boat.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
The girl is an unconvicted felon, and all those who help her, including those like you who stupidly defend her with some twisted logic, are unconvicted felons.
Thanks!
