Dear Readers. You may have read the following column by Mr. Bill Dahl, a contributing columnist for the Hispanic Vista who wrote: “Hispurgatory, or Innocent Hispanic Students Trapped Between Heaven and Hell in the U.S.,” Magic City News, Maine. (www.magic-city-news.com/article_3773.shtml)
In part, Mr. Dahl states the following: “For these Latinos, the hope for citizenship in the U.S. is heaven. Visions of better jobs, education, healthcare, housing, protections against discrimination, racism, the ability to be all one can be, to contribute to the United States economy and culture on an equal footing…these are the elements of their hope. The country they departed was, at least, economically oppressive. Hope led them here. Hope keeps them here. They hope that we will awaken from our self-righteous indignation and accept them formally into this, the Promised Land. Let them in America!”
We do let them into America, the Promised Land. In fact we welcome them with open arms. It is called legal immigration. We let in one legal immigrant per minute, 24/7. The ‘Promised Land’ has more legal immigrants residing here than the entire population of Canada.
Next subject, education in the ‘Promised Land’. Per Mr. Dahl, Juan (not his real name) has completed all his education in the Santa Ana school district. American taxpayers just paid in the vicinity of $7,000 (national average) per year for Juan’s public education. Final tally, $60,000 for Juan alone, gee thanks California taxpayers! Yet legal immigrant children here on F-1 visas with their parents are billed each and every year for their child’s American public school education costs. No payment, no school re-enrollment. Illegal alien children are educated for “free” in our classrooms at American taxpayer’s cost.
“This spring, Juan will receive his Bachelor’s degree from a four-year university in southern California. Most of the financial support he received for college was donated by a local church.”
Two points here in rebuttal. First point, now Juan can return to his country and begin leading the ‘educated fight’, courtesy of us taxpayers, against corruption and oppression in his country. We have supplied him with that much for free. Second point, the churches that have aided him are guilty of felony aiding and abetting. Ultimately Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army, the Lutheran programs, etc. will all be taken to task for breaking the Promised Lands federal laws. People here are ‘awakening’ alright, and do not like the scenario they see today. Refer to “The Awakening - Liberty and Justice For All” in Mr. Dahl’s column. It is a two-way street, sir. We of the Promised Land call it a nightmare.
Final comment here, Mr. Dahl wrote "They don’t have any medical insurance. Juan’s 5-year old sister has suffered from heart problems requiring 2 major surgeries. She needs another one but they just don’t have the money.”
Who paid for the surgeries? We know it wasn’t Mexico, Idaho has billed them repeatedly and they throw the annual several million dollar health care bills away. We know that President Fox stated the following “(illegal) Mexican workers need "access to decent health care” and that “certain groups of migrants are only cared for in (the Promised Land, USA) charity clinics." We know that ‘we’, the American taxpayer, are paying for this. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough tax money to cover legal residents medical bills here in the Promised Land, so couple that with illegal aliens’ bills and the result is hospitals, and “charity clinics” closing, one after another. American residents, when you, or you loved one needs emergency surgery or they will die, and there is no hospital remaining open near you, is Mexico going to airlift you to theirs, footing the bills as well? Highly unlikely as in Mexico, if you do not pay cash up front, you are left to die in their emergency room entrance now.
I will leave all of you with this thought. There are 155 poorer countries than Mexico. Do we ship all of their citizens in by boat, as they do not have the convenient border location to simply walk illegally into the United States? If not, why not? After all, to quote Mr. Dahl in reference to the Promised Land of America for the final time here “It’s time that the Christian community repents, takes the leadership role and opens the door...”

- Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a newspaper article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien work force of dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.
- IT IS ILLEGAL FOR NONPROFIT OR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS to knowingly assist an employer to violate employment sanctions * knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Non-citizens are putting the hurt on our hospitals. The tab is rising as the number of immigrants continues to swell from coast to coast. The American Hospital Association reported that its member facilities provided $21 billion in uncompensated health-care services last year.
