Aliens turn American dream into nightmare
   
Once every American truly believed in the American dream; given educational
and employment opportunities, barriers were broken down and rules of law were
implemented to improve Americans’ way of lifeToday cultural diversity of
illegal Third World aliens is dividing America.
    Americans must pay for bilingual education and every other entitlement
benefit allowed for aliens to the tune of $10 billion annually. A person can
use fertility injections for eight multiple births and who pays? So much for
the dream.
   
Political leaders inform Americans Social Security and Medicare are going
broke, and American citizens are at fault. Today’s senior citizens labored for
minuscule wages and fought in wars. Now in their golden years, they have to
pay for health services that aliens receive free. So much for the dream.
   
Our civilization strongly advocates individual rights, family values,
religious freedom, less government interference, rule of law and a common
denominator- “the English language.” Those who refuse to blend into the
American way of life should stay home.
   
The next century is upon us, and I wonder what those in power have in mind:
concern for the American dream or a nightmare for our grandchildren.
