The State Of The Union Today
Posted by Jacques on September 18, 2009 | No Comments
I have lived in New York for thirty one years, I left my country Lebanon at the age of nineteen, I went to college, I got married, had three kids and never collected unemployment till this year.
All of our politicians tell us that we are heading in the right direction. They are either lying to us or they are on drugs. The new wave of immigrants are robbing the system and I will give you a small example which I personally have witnessed with my own eyes.
A family of four: father, mother and two boys at the ages of 9 and 14, entered this country sponsored by a family person who is an American citizen. An affidavit of support was filed on their behalf in case they were unable to find work.
Why are we allowing new immigrants to enter our land if they are not able to find work? Our unemployment is at 10% and rising. The story does not end here however.
The father is working for $1,000.00 a week, however he only receives $299.00 by means of check while getting the rest in cash so that he can collect welfare, free health insurance, food stamps and government support for his wife and 2 kids in the amount of $1,200.00 per month.
This type of practice is very common with all new immigrants from all over the world. We are being robbed and abused by the new wave of people which they call themselves “legal immigrants”. I think it is time for our government to step up and address this situation,
Why do we let new immigrants enter our borders while our economy and employment are going down the drain? How do we support these new immigrants who never paid taxes or fought for this country, all the while ignoring our own citizens who were born here, and worked for this nation all their lives? Where is the justice?
So many of our senior citizens are barely able to survive. Most of them are working part time jobs in their later years just to be able to pay for food and medicine. How do we ignore our brave veterans who fought and died for our freedom?
It is time for this nation to take action. We must rise and let our voices be heard! Our politicians are nothing more then businessmen who run for office with special interests in mind. It is time for us to reclaim our country before it is too late!
With this in mind I would like to make something very clear. I am not against immigrants in anyway. I happen to be an immigrant who worked very hard. As people know, this country was built with the sweat and blood of the immigrants. Not these immigrants however who are robbing us blind and destroying this beautiful land we call home.
