Recently, a disturbing news item was broadcast on television, reporting that many of our brave young men and women, returning home from that ugly war, are unable to receive proper medical assistance needed for their numerous physical problems incurred by the ravages of war.

Yet our government must spend millions for the teaching of English to the illegal law breakers in this country.

There are immigrants from Germany, Poland, Greece, China, Japan, France, Italy, Vietnam, India and yes, Mexico, and untold numbers from many other countries who came here the right way.

They have blended into the American way of life and learned English if they so desired. They were not coerced to learn English, they wanted to learn.

The present illegal immigrants are constant complainers about the methods used in teaching English. There are many Hispanics who understand English, why don’t they help each other?

The original immigrants did not attempt to fly the flag of their respective home countries, nor try to sing our National Anthem in their native languages, or not using the money of their former countries.

They certainly did not want to change the character and identity of the very essence of our American spirit.

They brought with them some of their own customs and hold their celebrations even today, without protests and ungratefulness.

These immigrants are busy working and carrying on their lives in America. They have contributed much to our society and we have learned a great deal from them.

Of course, they have their ups and downs like the rest of the world, but they seem better able to control their problems.

Among the crowds of law breakers, there are many good sincere people who want a better life. No one blames them for that.

Unfortunately, they were ill-advised and misled by unprincipled leaders to enter our country by any illegal means. They were given printed materials on how to accomplish this.

Through it all, our government and many Americans sanction the take over of our country by illegal law breakers who want to establish another Mexico. Lord help us.

No one is opposed to immigrants for those seeking a better life, but there is a sensible legal way of qualifying for that privilege.

Bullying their way here is certainly not conducive to a better understanding among all people.
