Dear Idaho State Legislator:

In late August, we sent you a letter describing our concern for the lack of immigration law enforcement in Idaho by state and local officers. We asked for a reply to these concerns, and to date we have not heard from you. Should we imply from your lack of response that you do not believe that illegal aliens are a problem in Idaho or in the nation?

It is quite obvious the Treasure Valley political leaders show no concern of the fact the invasion of this nation by illegal aliens is a criminal offense and is punishable by law.
It is of the opinion this Government is for the Corporations, of the Corporations, by the Corporations.

December 18, 2005, The Idaho Press-Tribune published an article written by reporter, Ben Fletcher, titled, “Most unauthorized illegals not deported.” Mr. Fletcher wrote the following; I quote;
“CANYON COUNTY - As it stands, most undocumented immigrants living locally will not be deported. A combination of policies, procedures, resources and inadequate incarceration space ensure Canyon County stands as a safe haven for illegal immigrants.
Federal agents working locally don’t shy away from offering an explanation either.
“For general illegal aliens, we do not have the resources to pursue it,”
said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Senior Special Agent,
Jeff Wolstenholme. “We do not have the manpower to do our job.” End of quote.

Surely, you are aware of the debate going on in Congress how best to resolve the issues regarding immigration. The House has been championing a "seal the border first" approach, while the Senate has chosen to create a literal nightmare by granting legality to millions of illegal aliens. It is our contention that our nation does not need to grow by 100 million persons in the next 20-30 years, or to a billion by centuries end, to satisfy employers desire for cheaper labor. Such an approach will be disastrous for the environment and the quality of life we now enjoy.
We could cite a multitude of studies and comments dwelling on the effects of an exploding unskilled population on land use, loss of farmland, dwindling water supplies, a general increase in crime, and ever increasing costs to support these immigrants.

We feel that if you are not aware of this danger, then you owe it to your family, and descendants to learn the facts. You also owe it the citizens of the State to protect their interests, and not sellout to corporate interests for private gain.

We are perplexed why Idaho's legislature is not doing anything to control the increase in the illegal alien population.
We believe that the Federal Government has not prevented State and Local Law Enforcement from enforcing existing immigration laws, and that these entities only need a mandate from the State to begin enforcing federal law.

We previously asked you to comment and are very concerned that a "no response" is the norm today from elected officials.

If you expect to be paid by taxpayers you should at least be willing to provide answers to their questions. If not, then perhaps you should consider another line of work.
As State Citizens, we are extremely tired of being ignored......

Sincerely,

Robert B. Murray II, Ph.D.
