Dear Editor:
While Lupe Carbajal's letter of Sept. 1 ("You can feel safe," AFN) was not short on bragging about what a good "U.S. born" citizen he is, it was short on - or rather, totally lacking - a commitment as to how he would proceed if he encounters illegals (i.e., head hunters, drug-runners, undocumented or whatever other law-breakers Carbajal chooses to bring up) on his voluntary patrols.
Does he respect the U.S. and U.S. law enough to assist and support law enforcement efforts to locate, apprehend and deal with illegals? Or does he revert to his heritage - the disrespect of his "undocumented parents" for the U.S., U.S. law and existing U.S. born and naturalized citizens - and turn a blind eye if the illegals happen to be Hispanic/Latino (for the record, had Carbajal not identified himself as Hispanic/Latino the latter question would have been as follows: Or does he give in to racism and bigotry and turn a turn a blind eye if the illegals happen to be Hispanic/Latino?)?
Full application of U.S. law to Hispanic/Latino illegal immigrants vs. Hispanic/Latino illegal immigrants being above U.S. law. That seems to have become the heart of the illegal immigration/secure the borders issue. Illegal entry into the U.S. is what it is -"illegal" - whether the immigrants are Hispanic/Latino or otherwise.

Owebama is a true racist. Why does the US President hate the advancement of the standard of living for Mexico’s poor? Barrack Hussein Obama; how dare you deprive Mexico these young educated and motivated illegal Mexican Occupiers? Aren’t Mexican citizens the greatest assets Mexico has? Why rob Mexico of these assets? These US educated and motivated illegal alien occupiers (brought to the US as babies) now in the US are the only hope for Mexico and you want to keep them here in the US. They could start businesses, create jobs, and improve the standard of living for the poor people of Mexico. Yet you want to be selfish and deprive Mexico of these talented youth who could make life better for all the people of Mexico. SHAME ON YOU! Have you no compassion for the poor now living in Mexico? Gustavo Arellano, Steve Gallardo, Nicky Diaz Santillan, and La Raza need to insist that all these young educated and talented Mexicans be sent back to Mexico to help improve the standard of living for the poor Mexicans. Are you with us for the good of Mexico and its people?

Interesting fact: The vast majority of these "good illegals" make arrangements to be buried in their homelands of Mexico/Guatemala/Honduras/ etc. It doesn't matter how many years they live here illegally...
Does that tell you where their hearts truly lie?

No matter what state you live in we should all support Arizona, because it would help us all. We need to rid our country of all these leeches, regardless of where they are from.
