Dear President Bush,
Kathy and I have supported you at each and every fund raiser
and rally in El Paso, from your first run for Governor to your second
Presidential campaign but we disagree with your administrations ideas
on the current Immigration Bill. The concept of allowing 400,000
immigrants annually to enter our nation is wrong. The first step
should be the securing of the borders to the extent that NO ONE
without a valid passport and background check will be allowed to
enter through our national boundaries. This should be done using
whatever force is necessary including military. After the border
traffic is curtailed then the original laws that have been passed in
the past 20 years should be enforced, which requires fines for any
employer who hires and pays other than U.S. Citizens. Make the fines
substantial enough that employers cannot afford to stay in business.
Forget about the cheap labor. I am quite sure there are many U.S.
Citizens who would do the menial labor jobs for $10 to $20 per hour.
We all would have to pay more for these goods but we would take away
most of the incentive for illegal entry if there were no jobs or
social services for those who do not have a valid proof of their
Citizenship. We also believe that there should be laws enacted that
will allow interdiction of monies being transferred to foreign
nations whether it be from corporate or individuals. This nation
should also consider a substantial tariff on goods manufactured in
foreign countries by U.S. Corporations, which will eventually bring
much of those jobs home.
Our interpretation of the current bill in Congress appears to
be a gift to those who have entered illegally. The affects are
primarily political with no regard for the eventual downfall of this
great nation. I am retired military and spent over half of my working
life to defend this nation and it’s principles. Please don’t let a
bill with a political purpose become law and forget about the 200
plus years that the nation has fought for the preservation of principles.

Sincerely, Randall and Kathryn Ganfield
