Let's Stop All Immigrants – Illegal and Legal
RECEIVED Thu., Aug. 3, 2006
Dear Editor,
We should face the music and legislate a temporary moratorium on all immigration, legal and illegal, until our nation can integrate all current legal immigrants and remove all illegal immigrants, so important for our future.
Our USA has historically been generous and welcomed immigrants who are willing to live by our rules, work hard, and become truly American, but we cannot continue to absorb the huge number of illegal aliens who come and milk the system for government services, free education, and free benefits.
Our bureaucracy in Washington can't handle incoming legal aliens, much less the millions of illegal aliens already living here. Our high level of immigration is responsible for siphoning billions of dollars from the American economy through crime, terrorist acts, and abuse of government services and benefits. Support legislation to put a temporary moratorium on nearly all immigration until we can fix the broken system.

[Editor's response: Isn't it a little misleading to say "Our USA has historically been generous and welcomed immigrants," because aren't we a nation of immigrants? My grandparents were immigrants, and I'm very conscious of that. But now that you and your family are here, we should shut the door even to legal immigration?]
