In 1986 we granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal aliens who were within our borders. This was supposed to solve our illegal immigration problem. Predictably, it only made the problem worse. Today we probably have at least 20 million illegals in our country, and it will get much worse if we grant them amnesty.

The only solution is to demand that our federal government enforces our immigration laws. It certainly is not doing that. We have troops all over the world protecting other nationals. Let's bring some of them home and beef up the security of our own borders.

Next we must enforce laws pertaining to document fraud and the hiring of illegals. Also, we must cancel granting automatic citizenship to infants born to illegals.

What we must not do is to reward illegals with amnesty for breaking our laws. Milton Edward Ventresca Canyon Country
