"They Have Terrorized Our Community": Anti-Immigrant List Targets Latinos in Utah

"They Have Terrorized Our Community": Anti-Immigrant List Targets Latinos in Utah

Dear Senator Casey:

I have called your office twice in the last week. There was no answer. I left a detailed message. I did not receive a reply.

You find the time to meet with lobbyists and accept money from the oil industry. BP has killed over 11 Americans through it's negligence. They knowingly violated American laws even though they are foreigners. You tolerate Tony Hayward and other murderers but you put up fences to keep out impoverished farmworkers?

Also, my credit card was stolen by a Palestinian. He was living in Virginia. He was in the country as a student; but he had flunked out of college. Our judicial system is broken. The man had stolen 16 people's credit cards; and run up thousands of dollars. Instead of deporting him, the judge declared a mistrial. The man was not charged with anything.

And the Saudis send their pregnant wives over to America during their 8th month of pregnancy so that their children can be born in America and they can receive citizenship. BUT Palestinian Muslims that live in Saudi and have children born in Saudi do not gain citizenship. They are used as slaves in Saudi.

Furthermore, Pennsylvania has a LARGE agricultural community. Immigrant workers take jobs that Americans will NOT take. I know this because I managed a 600 acre farm with cattle, & apples. There were many Americans that lived nearby; but only a Mexican and his family would take the job as farmhand.

Securing our borders should not be our highest priority. As I have stated above - these people are flying here. Saudis and Palestinians do not hop over fences! Tony Hayward and the other BP criminals have private yachts and jets. You seem to equate working hard on a farm under stressful conditions with being a criminal. You are letting the real criminals free. Who is being held accountable for the deaths of the 11 Americans at the Macondo well? BP is getting tax credits, tax refunds, and they did not even pay their taxes! Deepwater Horizon was incorporated in the Marshall Islands and BP evaded paying taxes on it.

Penalizing farmers in ANY state in America is the STUPIDEST idea. Individual farmers throughout the U.S. and especially in PA are STRUGGLING. They need assistance not prosecution. Immigrant farmworkers are NOT the criminals; and neither are the farmers!

I am finding it difficult to grasp where you developed your opinions as they do not reflect the opinions of the many Pennsylvanians that I have met. The people that should be convicted - BP, the Saudis, and the Palestinians are not WORKING. They are not stealing American jobs. They ARE stealing American money. BP has stolen billions through tax evasion. You simply cannot equate this with the millions of hard-working immigrants that cross our borders to take jobs that no Americans will take.

The Saudi women do not speak English. The people from British Petroleum speak English. America pays Saudis because their children are born here. The American taxpayer has paid a LOT to BP. I am happy that the rest of the world is not so mired in isolationism that they mandate what language I should speak.
