Tennessee Federation for Immigration Reform and Enforcement

I got into this crucial issue of enforcing immigration laws, and deporting the tens of millions of illegal aliens from our sovereign nation, because I am a REAL immigrant and I jumped through ALL the hoops in order to come to America.

Immigrants have physical examinations for medical problems and diseases, background checks determine any past criminal activity, and applicants are screened for affiliation with groups who intend harm to the United States and the American citizens.

Because the illegal aliens are able to bypass any and all requirements to enter our country, diseases such as TB, which were once controllable are now increasing, American citizens are killed on our roads in high speed accidents by unlicensed illegal alien drivers, and murder, rapes, and other mayhem are committed by people that should not be present in our country.

Because of the lax control of our borders, terrorists come across our southern border by joining groups of Spanish speaking illegal aliens. The possibility of another catastrophe like 9/11 is quite evident.

In April, 2006, illegal aliens rioted in the streets of America and made demands in a manner that could be regarded as anarchy. Business and the normal lives of American citizens were disrupted while the eyes of the nation were on the malcontents who were here illegally. How we came to this impasse is easily explained but not easily remedied.

While the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (COTUS) gives American citizens "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" it does not give illegal aliens the right to gather in our sovereign streets, and riot, demanding all manner of benefits and considerations that they are not entitled to receive.

In the two years since that fateful April, illegal aliens have been coddled and protected by our government to the extreme of special laws being pushed through Congress by Senators Kennedy, McCain and Graham in order to accommodate them.

If millions of shocked and irate American citizens had not burned up the telephone lines into the Congressional switchboard, declaring their objection to the AMNESTY Bill last summer, at least 25,000,000 illegal aliens would have been dubbed American citizens overnight, and would have been entitled not only to every right that the COTUS provides, but free college tuition, and other benefits that American students and citizens may not receive themselves. Even confessed members of such dangerous gangs as the MS-13 were included in the travesty.

By the continual betrayal of the American citizens by our own government, by not enforcing current federal immigration laws, the presence of tens of millions of illegal aliens, and the horrendous problems stemming from that presence, is not under control but is ever worsening.
