My Husband and I have both been in our chosen professions for 21 years.  We are both legal, natural born citizens of the United States of America.  We both work hard at full-time jobs to be able to afford a house, food and the basics of life for us and our two children.  We don’t own fancy cars, a boat, a motor-home or anything.  We don’t have anything extraordinary.  We have been blessed to take some nice vacations in the last few years, but again, nothing wild and extravagant. 

This week I was helping my customers at the bank I work at, as usual when I saw the group of illegal dairy workers come in to cash their checks.  I realized as I was counting out the hundred dollar bills, that these checks were more than my husband takes home a pay check.  He manages a service station, has to pay taxes, health insurance premiums, and from that he ends up with far less than these men who are here illegally working in the United States. 

Needless to say, it made me sick.  I watch every night while my husband comes homes aching from his head to his toes.  He puts in about 11 hours on average a day for a salary.  He is a trustworthy, hardworking employee and has been for the 21 years he has been at his company.  Yet the politicians in Washington, in our State Government, and the local “business” men are unable to see the unfairness of this situation.  They don’t seem to understand that ILLEGAL means just that. 

These “employees” of the dairy that come into where I work do NOT have accounts with out bank.  My bank goes out of their way to try to get their accounts, but it is an exercise in futility since they only cash their checks and send they money off to their families in Mexico.  They are NOT stimulating our economy.  They aren’t buying tires from my husbands station and they are not taking out loans with my bank.  In basic terms, they are not contributing to society.  They are taking from our taxes, committing crimes in the neighboring communities, and overall costing my family and myself an S**t load of money.

I sit here during an election year and hear nothing but how promises from the front running candidates on how they are going to further help the illegal aliens of this country to overrun it and continue to take from the pockets of the hardworking tax payers.

Nothing about this is fair.  Nothing about it is the way that our forefathers intended.  With no end in sight, I have little to no hope for an end.  When will our government wake up and put an end to this?
