Whose Government is it?

Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania was a guest this morning on the Michael Smerconish show, a Philadelphia based talk show. When asked about his pending immigration legislation, the senator made 2 comments that expressed how he and some of his colleagues see illegal aliens. Sen. Specter said that "The people have the right to petition their government." (my emphasis) This is not THEIR government! Aliens, legal or illegal do not have a say in the governance of this country. They are citizens of other countries. If they wish to petition the United States government, they have embassies for that purpose. They don't have the right to vote. They are NOT constituents of the local representatives. Senator Specter is not THEIR representative in Congress, he is MINE!
Does Mr. Specter think these people are already someone's constituents? He exposed his mindset that these people are potential votes to keep him in power.

He also stated that we cannot arrest all these people because it will cost too much money. The amount he gave was about $25,000 per person.
What will it cost to provide training, teaching and to give health care to all these people if they are given citizen or legal alien status? I guarantee it will be far more than $25,000 per person. What will be the cost of all the new people flooding across the border each day?
I pray that this "future constituent" mindset will be overcome by respect for the law of the land. At the rate they are entering, we will be their constituents before long. Welcome to the Socialist State of Nuevo Latino.
