I just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know that I am deeply concerned about the state of our union today. If Obama's Amnesty bill passes we'll be sanctioning the rights of some 20 Million criminals that have broken into our country ILLEGALLY, and giving them privileges not shared by our CITIZENS currently.
Right now through our taxes we support welfare, medical, and education benefits for these CRIMINALS while the average american can't afford the same. We have a national unemployment and economic crisis on our hands and want to further that by pardoning 20 million more people? Ludicrous.
Please stand firm in resolve against the further destruction of our country by the propogation of "turning the other cheek" to the steady stream of illegal immigrants.
Arizona's SB1070 is a step in the right direction and one we here in Colorado need to adopt as well.
Thank You,
Jeremy Nelson

Dear Jeremy:
ReplyDeleteThank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding immigration policy. I appreciate hearing from you.
Let me begin by saying that we must be tough and smart to get our immigration system under control. It is unacceptable to have 12 million people in our country living outside the legal system. We must secure the border, but also require the undocumented to register and become legal, pay a fine, pay their taxes, learn English, and pass criminal background checks. Those who have a serious criminal record should be sent back to the country from which they came.
Comprehensive immigration reform will help the economy by turning undocumented workers into legal taxpayers who are paying their fair share. This issue must be addressed in order to make sure that we have a system in place that cracks down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and ensures all are playing by the rules.
Our immigration system is broken, and it cannot be fixed by one small piece of reform. We should address immigration as a whole, and that is a primary goal of mine here in the Senate.
For more information about my priorities as a U.S. Senator and about issues of importance to Colorado and our nation, I invite you to visit my website at http://bennet.senate.gov/. Again, thank you for contacting me.
Sincerely,
Michael Bennet
United States Senator
