A tale of two immigrants.

Let me clarify I am not against immigration, I am against illegal immigration. We should welcome people from other nations as long as they are fully vetted and can contribute to our society.

Couple A: The first immigrant came to the United States on a tourist visa to visit her uncle and enjoy the South Florida beaches and rest and relax. While the immigrant was in the United States she met a young American Veteran who happened to live next door to her uncle. After a few days the French immigrant and the American man started to date, only one small problem the immigrant had to return to France as she had a job, apartment and her family. The young man and the immigrant kept writing and calling each other and soon the immigrant had made plans to come back to the States for another vacation. Once the two were reunited their relationship resumed and flourished.

At the end of the vacation the American asked the young lady to marry him, she agreed and without delay they eloped the very next day. 13 years later the marriage is as strong as ever and the two have four children they are raising. The couple now underwent the LEGAL immigration process and the immigrant became a Permanent Resident Alien. The immigrant has never been unemployed until recently so she could raise the youngest of the couple’s children. The couple have never been on welfare or without work, have stood on their own two feet and are active in their community. The couple and their children are proud of their dual nationalities and teach their children strong family values. The two pay their taxes on time and live within their means.

Couple B: The second immigrant came to the United States illegaly. The second immigrant worked for ten years “off the books” and while the immigrant worked hard, he did not pay taxes nor did he pay into the Social Security or medicare/medicad system. The immigrant then brought his wife to the United states illegaly and their four children. The two illegal aliens loved each other and their children and teach them strong family values but are only connected to the illegal community. The illegals while raising four children still do not pay taxes nor into the medicare/medicad system even though the two have had four children. The illegals don’t pay state or local taxes and their children are being educated in the local school system.

Why should couple A be forced to pay for couple B’s benefits?

Couple A did the right thing and have worked hard for everything they have. The couple have not received hand outs, welfare or preferential program assistance.

Couple B did not follow the rules and regulations and “jumped the line” on legal immigrants from other nations. Couple B takes food stands, educational tutoring assistance and various other social welfare programs while not contributing any of their income to the sytstem that they take so much from.

Why do we, who follow the rules and regulations, have to pay for those who do not? It is insantity at the very least! Immagine illegaly immigrating to another country and trying to do the same thing?

Senators, Congressmen, Mr. President, secure our boarders, stop illegal immigration, take care of our elderly and our veterans before you try to ram a socialistic program down our throats! Not one dime should go to illegals. Take care of our legal immigrants and our citizens before you take care of the illegals.

By the way, the first story is my own. My wife and I had to wait nine months for her to get here legaly. We don’t take a dime from the government and take care of our family on our own. I served six years, nine months and eleven days in the service of our Great Nation. If the legal immigrant wife of a United States Veteran has to wait in line – so should everyone else!
