ORANGE COUNTY ( CALIFORNIA ) NEWSPAPER
This is a very good letter to the editor. This woman made
some good points. For some reason, people have difficulty
structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting
the currently proposed immigration revisions. This lady made
the argument pretty simple. NOT printed in the Orange County
Paper................... Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the
editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below)
or which does not agree with the philosophy they're pushing on
the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that
should have been published; but, with your help it will get
published via cyberspace!
New Immigrants !
From: 'Name Witheld'
My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the
OC Register which, of c! ourse, was not printed. So, I decided to
'print' it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if
you feel so inclined.

County Register:
Dear Editor:
So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land
is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should
tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question
aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis
Island and other ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people
like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new
kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush
from! all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had
! to get o ff a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be
documented. S ome would even get down on their hands and knees
and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and
support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning
English a primary rule in their new American households and some
even changed their names to blend in with their new home.
They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a
new life and did everything in their power to help their children
assimilate into one culture.
Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor
laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship
they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity. Most
of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father
fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from
Germany, Italy,France and Japan .. None of these 1st generation
Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents
had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and
the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of
America as one people. When we liberated France, no one in those
villages were looking for the French-American or the German
American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only
Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country.
Not one of those immigrant sons would have th ought about picking
up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It
would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so
much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be
an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red , white and
blue bowl.
And here we are in 200 8 with a new kind of immigrant who wants
the same rights and privileges... Only they want to achieve it by playing
with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and
a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's
not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants
who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that
for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations
to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching
for a better life . I think they would be appalled that they are being used
as an example by those waving foreign country flags.
And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it
happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the
immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the
United States just yet. (signed) ********* ******
KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING. FOR THE WRONG THINGS TO PREVAIL THE
RIGHTFUL MAJORITY NEEDS TO REMAIN COMPLACENT AND QUIET!! LET THIS
NEVER HAPPEN!! I hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across
the nation!!
