'Which Sins?,' Sister Fahey? Count Them and Weep!

In the March 1 edition of the San Jose Mercury News, the letters to the editor section included a weepy missive from a "Sister Fahey" who posed a rhetorical "Which Sins?" question with respect to illegal aliens.

The good Sister used her bleeding heart pen to argue for amnesty, rather than deportation, of the millions of uninvited "guests" now squatting in America.

"Which Sins?" was Fahey's way of ridiculing those of us who believe that the rule of law should apply to everyone, even those who mow our lawns, wait our tables, clean our homes, and wash our cars, when such labor is provided by those not here legally.

Which sins, Sister?

Well, how about violating the borders and immigration laws of our sovereign nation, tax evasion, identity theft, voter fraud, stealing hundreds of billions of dollars each year in public services to which they are not entitled, not paying for medical services which forces hospitals and medical facilities into bankruptcy thereby denying American citizens the use of such facilities, taking millions of jobs that should be filled by Americans, contributing to the overcrowding of public schools, reintroducing diseases long eradicated back into America, and degradation of American language and culture with third-world language and ways?

Moreover, surely you must be aware of the fact that about 30 percent of the inmate population in federal and state prisons and jails are illegal aliens? In fact, the problem is so acute in the bankrupt state of California that Gov. Schwarzenegger has proposed building a system of prisons in Mexico, at American taxpayer expense, just to relieve our cash-strapped state budget!

And, please, Sister, do not forget the devastating impact of having unqualified illegal aliens buying homes, which drove up the cost of home ownership across the board, and all but eliminated low-cost housing for American citizens.

Mortgage defaults among illegal aliens defaults were also a major factor in the collapse of the housing bubble and the depressed state of the American economy!

Kept up with the news on the student front lately, Sister? In our great state of California, students are taking to the streets to protest skyrocketing increases in tuition and cuts in educational services. Only a fool would deny that providing educational services and college scholarships to illegal aliens is harming the educational opportunities for American citizens!

Sorry, Sister Fahey, the logical way to deal with invading criminals is to send them home to their third-word nations of origin, where they are already "legal."

Let's spare the American people the costly and time-consuming process of pandering to people who have no legal or moral right to be here!
