I feel like I must post this because it hits home with me.

Demagnetize America
Stop Illegal Immigration Now!
Gustavo Reyes Garcia
The Face of Illegal Immigration
Why is this man smiling?
Gustavo Garcia killed a couple when he rammed his
SUV head-on into their vehicle while drunk. He had been
arrested and convicted over 20 times on charges ranging from DUI
to theft to assaulting a police officer. Why was this man roaming free?
Why was this man never deported?
Read Phil's account of this story and be prepared to be enraged.
Read Gustavo Garcia's record for yourself.
(Just enter in "Gustavo Garcia")
Garcia is not alone. Read about other cases like his.

Why does this hit home with me? The couple was from Mt. Juliet...my hometown. What if that couple was my parents? What if that couple was my grandparents? This could happen to anybody. How does that make you feel?
Sure, America is a "melting pot", but I don't believe immigration is what we're all about anymore. We must have checks and balances when it comes to who we let in this country or else it will undoubtedly deteriorate. If you don't think that's fair, then you must not think it's fair that universities have admissions processes or even that we screen who we let into certain organizations. There is a reason for the policies that we have in effect. Rejection is sometimes inevitable, but I can tell you, if they are denied a green card...there must be a reason. I bet Gustavo Garcia would have been denied a green card. I can't imagine why..can you?
As much as it infuriates me, I could say plenty more, but I'll stop right there. All I will say is that I intend to see what I can do to help stop illegal immigration and inform others that wish to do the same.
