I would like to know what plan is on the drawing board to stop the inflow of illegal activities at the borders. At the very least. make those people pay taxes. I dont even care about the $3 a gallon gasoline. but work to get this immigration issue under control." Zine Strong of Humble. Texas. writes: "I am appalled at what is happening in our country where it appears that illegal immigrants have more rights than American citizens. I see daily on television the plight of those who live at the border. Their properties are vandalized. their lives are threatened by those crossing the border illegally. Our school and health systems are stretched to the limit and the jails are filled with people who have no right to be here in the first place. "I am an immigrant myself who was blessed to have the privilege of becoming an American citizen. I came to this country legally many years ago with my two small daughters. As soon as we arrived. my daughters were enrolled in a school so they could learn English and we spoke only English at home.
