Let’s fix our own problems before saving the world

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Less than a week after writing a good size check to the IRS for taxes I see on the front page an article about new immigrants. This is ridiculous! We give money right up front, sign them up for food…

U.S. is partly responsible for immigration problems, thanks to NAFTA

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

After reading Mr. Sei’s letter this morning, I have to respond with “Yes, we are responsible.” Why? Because of NAFTA. The United States has flooded the Mexican market with such an abundance of cheap corn that even the Mexican farmers…

Immigrants should — and should want to — assimilate in American

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I received an email that had a picture on a t-shirt that had Uncle Sam saying “We want you to speak English”.  I have some feelings about this issue, but chose not to forward the email.

I am of German/Dutch…

America was built by immigrants — welcomed, legal immigrants

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I respectfully disagree wholeheartedly with Jorge Riopedre’s editorial commentary in the Thurs., Feb. 7 Post-Dispatch, “Illegal isn’t the point”.  That attitude must change, at least in the Hispanic community. It reflects a continuing skewed perspective about the ILLEGAL immigration debate. Hispanic leaders seem to attribute anything…

Illegal is illegal; it really is that simple

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’m not sure what Jorge Riopedre motive is for supporting illegal activity, but he IS missing the point.  Nobody that I have talked to is against legal immigrants coming to America.  Immigrants have and continue to make this country strong. …

There’s a big difference between immigration and illegal immigation

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Like so many, Jorge Riopedre (”‘Illegal’ isn’t the point” from the 2/7/08 Post) just doesn’t get it when it comes to immigration. “Illegal” is EXACTLY the point.

My guess is that his parents were here legally, insomuch as they had…

If the illegal immigrants cna get jobs, why can’t the homeless?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 Sunday’s story about the tent city set up for the homeless in Ontario, CA is quite heartbreaking but brings up some valid questions.  If this suburb of LA has 331 homeless living in the tents and on the charity of churches…

Mexico: The 51st state

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Never in American history has mass migration of a majority of another country’s people group to USA occurred. The word “immigration” does not apply. The reality of mass migration does.

Most Americans favor legal immigration from all countries including Mexico,…
