Open letter to Congressman Don Young
By Mike Jones

 

October 08, 2006
Sunday


Below is a FAX I sent to Don Young Thursday:

I'm so discouraged that you voted against H.R. 6061.

I am going to try and tell as many Alaskans as I can about YOUR vote and to choose another person to fill your position at election time! The border fence is not just a way to curb illegal immigration, but a matter of national security.

As you may know, the number of "Other Than Mexicans" caught crossing the border has jumped from 49,545 in 2003 to 155,000 in the last year.

Five years after 9/11, this is totally unacceptable. In fact, it was totally unacceptable 20 years ago when illegal immigrants were stealing my work then and I was collecting unemployment because the illegals were taking the available jobs by working for less than half of what I was earning then, not paying taxes and using our medical services and schools for free.

AND YOU DO NOT SUPPORT A FENCE?!?!?!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN?????? HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID TO MAKE THIS DECISION???

A very disappointed,

Mike Jones

P.S.
If you do not believe me, start reading "LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" and the "OPINION" sections of Alaska newspapers.
