text: another one for those who call people opposed to illegal immigration racist-- stop pulling the race card.? here is something i found on http://www.hispanics4secureborders.org: dear president bush:   as an american citizen of hispanic heritage, i want to tell you of my opposition to any general amnesty for people who entered my country illegally. your first priority should be to make our borders secure – north and south – by giving the border patrol the manpower and resources it needs to protect our country.  illegal workers are taking jobs from our children and our friends and neighbors. they work “off the books” and do not get health benefits or insurance. the non-enforcement of our labor laws encourages more and more employers to hire illegal workers and this keeps wages low for millions of legal hispanic workers.  this situation benefits only greedy employers, not our hispanic citizens.   there is a lot more, but i don't have anough space.  i am just posting this because everytime somebody posts an opposition it because a racial issue of which it is not.  any more questions? that is truly a great letter and i enjoyed reading the portion that you posted!  i am of asian decent and my mother brought her family her legally.  everyone has gone through all the paper work, hearings, etc.  all have worked for a living paying into the government taxes, etc. and i have one cousin who just recently retired from the united states army after 29 years of service!  my father was a u.s. citizen and served a total of 21 years in 2 branches of the military, my mother has gone through all the legal stuff and has been a united states citizen for about 30 years or so.  and i for one have no problems with various ethnic groups coming to the u.s. and working.....but only if it is done the legal way, non of this illegal, sneaking across the boarder b.s.  i'm not a racists or prejudice person but illegals are breaking the law plan and simple.  and if you are breaking the law you should not be rewarded by given a visa, permanent residence or citizenship.  i just don't understand why some people don't think that illegal aliens, whether they be from mexico, china, or wherever, are breaking the law.  boggles my  mind.
