Freedom Folks: Why We Must Stop Illegal Immigration And Reject Guest Worker Amnesty

Frank Katz has a magnificent letter to the president over at redstate.com.

I write you now to express my dismay over your guest worker proposal and your steadfast refusal to secure our borders and deport illegal aliens. My objections to your policies are rooted in considerations of national security, economics, and culture.

This illegal invasion not only jeopardizes our national security, it also poses a grave threat to the livelihood of American workers. You love to say that we need guest workers "to do the jobs that Americans won't do." With all due respect Mr. President, there are no jobs that Americans won't do. Rather, there are jobs that Americans won't do at the current wages that are being offered. As a professed believer in the merits of capitalism, you know that the proper response to this situation is for businesses to raise their wages, not hire illegals to undercut hardworking Americans.

To those who contend that deportation is harsh, I would remind them that failure to deport is unfair to the millions of people who played by the rules and entered the country legally. To those who suggest that illegal aliens are simply filling a demand for workers, I would remind them that drug dealers are simply filling the demand of drug users.
