Ed, I’m responding to your recent item, “We’re all immigrants.” That is true. But when my family came here they were not given anything. They were ridiculed, lived in poverty and shame, and were pushed into the gutters. Today, people who come here are given everything courtesy of the taxpayers. They get free education, free health care, free everything. But they are not here for the American Dream, they come here to take advantage of our system and take all the money back to their countries to live like kings. Some people are missing this point. I’m not missing the spirit of being a true immigrant, but I’ve seen the reality. They are taking advantage of all of us.

Suffer like me

Brilliant. Let’s go back to “pushing people into gutters.” And they should have to walk 10 miles to school, in 6-foot snowdrifts, uphill in both directions.
