Editor:
Like many Americans who live in states distant from our border with Mexico, I pay scant attention to activities occurring there. This changed on a recent morning when I happened to view another television broadcast covering the entrance of Illegal immigrants crossing into the U. S. through our border with Mexico.
Most Americans are aware that we are a nation of immigrants, many of whom moved here legally and with American sponsors. These immigrants learned our English language, educated themselves and their families, found jobs, wore our nation’s uniform, fought and won our wars and have built America into the greatest nation in world history.
The sacrifices of legal immigrants, government officials, and members of our military have been insulted by our current politicians and border officials who have done little or nothing to curb what has become an illegal exodus into our United States.
Unless we Americans are able to awaken and compel members of Congress to address and quickly resolve Illegal Immigration and its destructive result, our future will continue to be bleak.
