Mr. McAuliffe,

An interesting, and obviously biased, article from Mr. Wells. His journalistic manipulations could reflect those one might attribute to the local press when accusing me of hate speech or other such non-sense.

First, let me REPEAT , I am not opposed to LEGAL immigration. I oppose the total disregard for American immigration law by individuals from any country entering the United States, then inflicting a financial burden on American taxpayers by invading our education, law and welfare systems. I oppose the disease illegal aliens bring with them to Canyon County. Your newspaper prints more about mosquito bourne illness, than about the possibilty of getting TB from illegal aliens, yet we have had two such experiences, and are currently paying for one such individuals medical care.

The cost to the community in crime and injury has certainly gone un-attributed to the presence of illegal aliens, yet who can argue that without their presence, many would still be alive in Canyon County. Will you?

If you are going to refer to racism, bigotry and discrimination, let me suggest you include examples from both sides. The groups located in the links I've included are, in my opnion, definitely advocating a seperation of the races, discrimination, and bigotry. Only you (the media) haven't exposed this aspect of the supporters of illegal aliens because you realize American citizens will not stand for it.
