Macklin Tried

Randy Ludacer's letter in the Sunday, Nov. 11 Highlands Today is so full of misinformation it needs to be answered.

Mr. Macklin did not come out against people of Spanish descent. He was trying to get rid of the illegal aliens, and not Mexican bashing, as stated by Mr. Ludacer. Mr. Ludacer calls them undocumented workers; that is like calling drug dealers unlicensed pharmacists. It is not a cheap shot, or bashing a powerless minority, to try to rid this county of criminals.

If you are in the United States and do not have the proper paperwork, then you are committing a crime and thus are a criminal. That seems to be what they don't understand. All government paperwork should be in English.

The marching demanding their rights on streets of America by criminals carrying the flag of their home nation should be stopped, and all the marchers shipped along with their flags back to their home country.

The criminals cost the taxpayers of the United States billions of dollars in medical, welfare and school costs, and then they send the money they make to a foreign country, and most do not pay a dime in taxes. They also drive with no legal license and when they injure or kill a U.S. citizen, they run home.

Two terms for our Congress would be a good idea, then people like Kennedy would not be able to continue to dictate to younger representatives.

Hazleton, Pa., did good, and it is time for our Congress to step up and pass laws that all illegal aliens leave and take their families with them and apply for the proper paperwork to work in the United States, with a very stiff punishment for those that do not comply.
