A Legal Immigrant speaks out against illegal immigration
Thursday, October 30, 2008
Mr. Galbreath:
I am Hispanic, I came to the U.S. with my parents from South America
as a legal immigrant, I assimilated in American society and I am a
naturalized U.S. citizen.
I am an activist against illegal immigration. Illegal aliens as well
as many legal immigrants refuse to assimilate in American society and
they want to turn this country into the country they left behind.
They refuse to learn English and they keep loyalty to their country
of origin. We don't need that kind of immigrant. I learned English
BEFORE I came to the U.S. Once I got here, all my friends were
Americans. I left my native country behind. I went back only once to
celebrate my graduating class reunion as a grandmother! I spent two
weeks there with dear relatives and friends, but I could not wait to
come back to "home, sweet home, the U.S.A.!"
My husband was born in Italy and came with his parents at age 7. He
is an American citizen and he is a U.S. Army veteran.
We raised three wonderful daughters in an English-only home. I wanted them to speak
good English and I worked with them on that. The oldest is a
freelance writer with countless books that have been published. The
second daughter served in the Army, is an Avionics Technician with a
BA in Business Management. She is in the Marshall Islands under U.S.
Government contract. The third daughter graduated with honors from
Veterinary school and practices in a large Veterinarian Clinic.
My husband and I also have a love affair with America. The greatest
nation on Earth with the most welcoming and generous people in the
world. I will fight anybody who wants to change that.
Sincerely,
Haydee Pavia, California
