I hope the first New Year's Resolution of our new Congress is to beef up border security. I hope the second is to quit worrying about being politically correct when it comes to criminals -- those illegal aliens who flaunt our laws and take advantage of the hard-working, tax-paying, English-speaking citizens of this country.
I'm sick of the news media trying to make us feel sorry for illegals. Take, for example, Felipa Leonor Valencia. Felipa was involved in an automobile accident in Georgia. She was not at fault for the accident. She is, however, illegal and has no drivers license. The New York Times feels so sorry for her: "The crash led Valencia. . .to 12 days in detention and the start of deportation proceedings -- after 17 years of living in Georgia."
My reaction? Well it took long enough to catch her! She's been living here and driving around illegally for 17 years!
Proponents of laws allowing illegals to get drivers licenses say that it only makes sense -- they will have to demonstrate that they are capable of driving safely and get insurance then. Are we nuts? That's like saying, "Let's give the bank robber the combination to the safe. That way, no one will be injured because he won't have to use dynamite to blast the thing open."
Lord, give us some people with a little common sense in 2011!
