Dear Governor,
I immigrated legally from Sweden in 1963 and have been appalled that Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in 1986, I was afraid that this would open the floodgates to even more illegal aliens coming here.
It's a slap in the face of immigrants who sometimes have to wait for up to ten years to emigrate to this country.
Moreover, illegals bring down the wages of Americans who are here legally.
I was a university professor for 34 years and students have told me that they are here illegally but that the university ignores their status. This translates into the taxpayers of California footing the bill to educate illegal aliens who don't pay any taxes.
However, this bill must be coupled with fines on businesses who hire illegals and if fines don't work, shut these businesses down. Many of card carrying union skilled union workers have been put out of work by illegals who take lower salaries, don't get health insurance, don't pay into the social security system, go to the hospital emergency rooms when they are sick and thus have something to do with bankrupting the health care system.
Many illegals will simply slip across the border when they commit a crime.
I had to carry my alien registration card and register with the post office for many years each and every year until that law was changed. I had nothing to hide and thus did not mind to carry my I.D. card.
In Sweden, every person has to have a personal I.D. card on him/her all the time. They also have to register with the nearest police station when they move.
Americans must carry their driver's license which is also a form of national I.D. card.
I support you wholeheartedly since the federal government has not done its job and protect our borders from illegal immigration. The entire world is appalled at the U.S. wanting to tell other countries how to govern when we can't even govern our own country.
