Subject: Illegals not a good thing!

Nice to finish off 2007 with the "TRUTH"

http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/opinions/x1763466833

Letters to the editor Dec. 31

The Dec. 23, 2007, article says "Mass. Brazilians lead nation."

They lead the nation in other things too, which are nothing to brag about.

Now the truth.

I don't know if you caught it, but according to the article, 11 percent of the Brazilians are American citizens.

That means 89 percent are not, which would mean they are illegal, or visa overstayers which is also illegal.

We've been right on with that statistic for years, so it's good to see when they admit it.

It was also admitted that some Brazilians are doing bad things.

You think!

Other than the usual criminal activity that the MetroWest Daily News nicely reports on a daily basis.

We even have so-called "good" Brazilians breaking the law daily too.

The fact that 90 percent of them are not in the country legally is a "bad" thing.

The fact that they are opening up businesses without the permission of the U.S. government is a "bad" thing.

The fact that a lot of them hire Brazilians who are illegal is a "bad" thing.

The fact that they send a lot of money home to Brazil is a "bad" thing.

Sure they put money back into the state, but for the most part it costs us money to make their stay here comfy.

So with all that in mind, what is so good about them being here?
