They need to be alerted. my colleagues need to be alerted because the suffering that is affecting many Americans is disproportionate. Yes. those in the lower incomes are suffering. but in fact many upperincome Americans have actually benefited from the malady that now has been damaging so many of the less affluent Americans. Of course. what I am referring to is the mindboggling. outofcontrol flow of illegal immigrants into our country in these last two decades. Throughout our country. but especially in the Southwest. Americas education. health care. housing. and criminal justice infrastructure is breaking down. It is breaking down under the weight of 11 to 20 million illegal immigrants who have flooded into our country in these past two decades. These 11 to 20 million illegals are by and large good and decent people. people who have come here to better their lives. But our job is not to watch out for all of the good and decent people who can come here from throughout the world in violation of our laws.
