Following is a letter to the editor of the Potomac News, a daily newpaper published in Prince William County in Northern Virginia, where the minority population is now 48-percent, and growing like a big nest of cockroaches, especially the illegal Hispanics. ---------------------- "We help Hispanics much more than they help us" LETTER TO THE EDITOR Potomac News Thursday, August 9, 2007 After reading a recent letter sent to you by a Lisa Marie Briones stating that "Hispanics do more for us than we do for them," I was stunned at how a person could make such a blind statement. Seeing that she was biased by being married to someone from Mexico. I can only wonder if she has ever seen what's going on here in Woodbridge. When there is so much to see such as misuse of public assistance programs, overcrowding emergency rooms for lack of insurance due to being illegal, driving without proper driver's license and insurance due to being illegal, overcrowding public schools and costing the county too much money on ESL programs for lack of English skills due to being illegal, working menial jobs for low pay due to a lack of any other skills due to being here illegally, using all types of false ID's for various reasons due to being here illegally, having babies on top of babies and not having to pay for them in hospitals by pretending not to speak English and too many others. Now out of all this can someone please tell me how they are doing more for us? When they get paid in cash due to lack of proper papers are they really paying taxes? Someone please tell me that is being done. Look around and see if you are surely being outnumbered by immigrants. It is not about picking on a certain race, it is only about the facts at hand. So once again lets look at that statement -- " Hispanics do more for us than we do for them." The amount of crimes committed by illegal immigrants was not before mentioned but look at the crimes section in this paper and see that for yourself.

Same old hate and scapegoating - different years. racist pigs said the same things about Irish and Italians. Most Americans reject the hate.

Most Americans reject the hate. owe korntrary Messere with the snobby oh so enlightened judgement, (har ! har ! what? ya don't like my Frenchy accent? It isn't hate when the opinion is a rebuttal based on verifiable statistical data, IOW the record(s) speak for themselves. Nor is it scapegoating to point out problems whose cause and effect can be directly connected to illegal activity, whether it be drugs or illegal immigrants. No disputing the treatment of most immigrants of more than the two you mention, however, your automatic assumption it must be hate because what was said was or is negative of a specific group is just that, an assumption.

The multiple images of vermin destroying resources does evoke repulsion and disgust. And yet we must remind ourselves that we are talking about fellow human beings rather than vermin or cockoroaches. Democracy emerges when we acknowledge that each individual is a distinct entity and stop stereotyping or pigeonholing folks as either Royalty or Peasant or Catholic or Muslim or an undocumented person or what have you. Many folks are tempted by fascism and/or monarchism, if they assume they will be in the controlling echelon. A free market can only function if money, goods, services and workers can flow freely. Attempts to control the flow of one or more aspects fail as we have seen in the War on Drugs and the Laws against prostitution and use of bartering where money was scarce. Only Draconian efforts can thwart the Free market forces. Stop the Communistic attempt to distort the free market and the attempts to deny freedom of movement and just open the borders.
