Subject: RE: Graham Amendment: Border Security Act
 Senator Graham,     Actually I am not greatly concerned about the impact illegal immigrants are having on our nation.  They are not the criminals who are stealing our democracy and launching illegal pre-emptive invasions of countries which had nothing to do with attacks on us.   An invasion that has vastly increased the strength of Al Qaeda and terrorism world-wide (THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY AL QAEDA MEMBERS IN IRAQ, HELLO!!  REGARDLESS OF THE BOGUS SCARE TACTIC OF BUSH LITERALLY EXHALING THE NAME AL QAEDA WITH EVERY BREATH IN EVERY SPEECH TO JUSTIFY HIS CONTINUED ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF A COUNTRY THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 91 UNLIKE OH, SAY SAUDI ARABIA OR PAKISTAN.)       No, a few thousand Mexican nationals repairing our roads, maintaining our lawns, cleaning our hotel rooms and our houses because they and their families will die of starvation in Mexico if they do not come here, do not overly tax my sense of outrage.  Billions, soon to be trillions, of dollars spent on an illegal invasion that has killed thousands of the cream of our youth and physically and mentally damaged thousands more and hundreds of thousands of the citizens of Iraq, the universal hatred thousands around the world feel for us now, our crumbling infrastructure, thousands of Americans without healthcare, thousands losing their homes and savings because of buyouts and mergers that result in firings of large chunks of the workforce for quick turn-around of profits, outsourcing of good jobs, excessive tax breaks for the rich at the expense of the poor, the disappearance of the middle class, growing numbers of children living in poverty and in declining health and without a decent education, increasing costs of college education.  I am incensed about a justice department with a sycophant at its head who has willingly subverted the DOJ and turned it into a slavering servant of the White House.  I am incensed over the unprecedented secrecy and non-transparency of a White House run at the whim of an arrogant and removed Vice President.  And I am somewhat disturbed that you think building fences, putting up towers and increasing border control forces  and the money so frivolously spent will stop desperately hungry people from finding a way to get to where the money is that they hope can save their family’s lives.  Do you really think sending a few thousand poor Mexican laborers back across the border is going to stop terrorism?  If you want to stop terrorism you have stop creating terrorists.  That’s the first thing.  If you use your brain you can figure out how to do that.   Sincerely,Sheila Jackson
