On Saturday, July 21, 2007 the Los Angeles Times editorial, horrifyingly titled “All-American deathtrap”, contends that building and maintaining an irrigation canal within our country is unfair to illegal immigrant because they have to swim across it when they are sneaking into our country.
I do not want to have anyone die but those people are here illegally. I would extend that 23 mile waterway from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean if it will deter the entry of illegal aliens. Our safety and our culture are at stake. The primary issue is uneducated and most likely illiterate/unskilled Mexicans are entering this country.
They are not people who have entered the USA with the intent of becoming part of our culture. That was the intent of all those who came here through Ellis Island. Many communities here in California have populations that are more Hispanic than White (non-Hispanic). Unfortunately they choose to speak Spanish and behave as if they are still in Mexico. There are communities in Los Angeles with second and third generation Mexicans who still do not speak English. The men wait at street corners and in the front of building supply businesses hoping for any kind of laboring job. The women take any kind of work they can obtain. This may be better than Mexico for them but it does not make our nation healthier.
A second reason for stopping the flow of illegal aliens is the possibility of terrorists entering our country. Just this past week Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security, issued statements that he is concerned about the possibility of a terrorist attack in this country during this summer season.
Would the Los Angeles Times have a different opinion if someone here illegally attacked a Los Angeles landmark? To read the Times editorial click this. http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-ed-canal21jul21,1,6586085.story?track=rss&ctrack=1&cset=true
