All immigrants should not be created equal!

Letter to the Editor

Open Letter to President Trump,

Just because former President Joe Biden opened our borders to “everyone” good and bad does not mean we punish those that have been here and have been working hard within this great country of ours!  Unless you are an indigenous Native American, then we are all immigrants. My family is Cherokee, Santee Sioux and European. Do I need to be deported because I am not 100% indigenous?  Even God spared the good before destroying the wicked.

I know a family of six who came to American over 20 years ago from Mexico. They have never been on welfare or SNAP, their oldest daughter has a BA in Psychology, and a MA in Forensic Psychology, their oldest son has his AAS in Automotive and Collision Repair. Their high school age son has a summer job just because he wants to work. Their youngest daughter is in junior high. This couple speaks, reads, and writes English and they have had their own business for 11 years, and have paid U.S. taxes for 20 years! They also have been involved in a local church here is Kingman for years. They have been caught up in a faulty merry-go-round system all these years. And because of what Biden did by allowing wicked people in, you, President Trump, please do not punish the good along with the bad. Your overreaction that all immigrants must go is unfair, and now this Godly family that loves this country is being threatened with deportation this July! I cry foul! They are doing more for this country than most of this current generation that has been born here.

I have met many natural-born citizens who are “milking” the system. Couples raising children together yet not married so the mother can continue to get government assistance as a “single” mom. Meanwhile they are buying a house together, have new cars and lots of worldly goods. Or, how about this younger generation that stays home playing on their phones while milking government assistance while there is a huge shortage of laborers within our city and country. They have become a lazy, spoiled generation with entitlement issues. 

Please, President Trump, save this hardworking family and  crack down on the leaches in the system and stop penalizing the  immigrants  that  are making America great by their hard labor and devotion!
