We are a nation of immigrants. It is specifically our diversity that makes us unique and strong. Furthermore, immigration issues and entitlement reform should be connected in the public debate. America needs immigrants as baby boomers age and birthrates continue to drop. We especially need the type of people who set out against all odds to bring themselves and their families here to be part of the American experiment. The ironic thing is, I don’t want people who wait in line, but the ones who can’t wait and put up with living in the shadows to become a part of who we are. They truly contain the Spirit of America. Any person who cannot separate immigration from issues of drugs, crime and gun violence, don’t sufficiently understand what is happening in our country. They most likely don’t know any immigrants and usually harbor racist, xenophobic fears and violent revenge fantasies. These people must be shouted down and marginalized. They are the ones who should leave. They rail against American birthright laws, yet they seem to forget that they did less to become American than the immigrants they blame for all the ills of society. Send the racists to the moon and open the gates to the dreamers. Our country will be all the better for it.

Dear Representative Wasserman Schultz,


I know politics is a game of give and take and sometimes you’ve got to compromise on things that you may personally abhor, however, CCA is an organization that exists solely for the purpose of gaining profit through pain. They destroy families, and do so in the name law and order. The immigration situation in this country needs much attention and much work, but giving any quarter to CCA for any reason, as a means to any end, even a wonderful end, is simply not worth it. Being from California, I am obviously not one of your constituents, but I implore you to reconsider your relationship with CCA. If examined closely enough, you will see the systemic damage caused by CCA through their operations and more importantly, their lobbying efforts. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know you’ll make the right decision and discontinue any relationship with this truly anti-American company.
