This is in reference to a letter printed in the Aug. 22 issue of the Simi Valley Acorn about business being at fault for illegals being here.

Yes, business is to blame but only to a small extent. No one is dragging an illegal alien across the border. He comes on his own accord and knows he is breaking the law or he wouldn't be sneaking across the border.

He and he alone is responsible for his own actions. If they weren't here, they wouldn't be hired and wages would not be driven down.

This is like saying: "There is a bank with money in it on the corner. I don't have enough money, therefore I have the right to go rob that bank if I want to. Why? Because it is there. It's not my fault I robbed the bank. It's the bank's fault for being on the corner."

Just because someone offers a job, breaking the law to get it does not justify the means to the end.

If Mexico is a barren and greedful wasteland politically, then it is the people's fault for letting it get that way. Mexico was once a prosperous land.

People who say nothing can be accomplished and don't even try is the reason things never get done.

Eisenhower had no problem with sending back a group of people that did not belong here. Do not say it cannot be done, because it can be and it should be.
