Here were are, with a torrent of illegals invading the United States border at a rate of at least 12,000-plus per day. The Bush administration has been dragging its feet on the way about this issue (no big surprise).

Illegal immigration is the No. 1 issue of the next election, whether you want to believe it or not. If we do not do something - anything - and quick, we will no longer be the United States of America, but the United States of Mexico.

If there were laws in California to send the illegals back to their homes in Mexico, over 22,000 people would not have been run down by illegal drunken drivers last year.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is pro-illegals, should take responsibility for their law-breaking acts and actually do something about it. To date, he has done nothing but make excuses and not uphold the law. It just goes to show whom he is representing. Big surprise.

As Roger Gitlin stated ("Strickland was right," Letters, April 30, 2008), the middle class pays, and pays big.
Bring the soldiers home from the failure in Iraq and put them on our borders, as promised!
