This is a letter to the editor that my friend Bruce wrote.
I agree with him. we need some sanity. Illegal is illegal.


My wife is Chinese. It has taken me 13 months to bring her to the United States legally. We are now in the process of "adjustment of status" and are applying for a green card. This has cost me approximately $1,000 and the filing of many forms, with more pages of supporting documents than anyone could imagine.

We are now two years down the road and my wife still does not have a driver's license, a Social Security number or any other benefits.

If illegals want to become American citizens, they need to follow the existing rules. If they cannot comply with the written law, the reaction should be, "See ya." Free lunches are long gone.

There are many people in my position. Should our nation decide to allow the illegals to enjoy all the rights and privileges of an American citizen, it would also be time for Uncle Sam to refund my and other people's spent dollars and immediately grant our foreign wives/husbands full status as U.S. citizens.
