About that letter from Leighton M. Anderson of Whittier, California. You know what, I'm tired of people making excuses for why we have all of these illegals in this country and trying to make the rest of us "feel bad" because we want to stop the invasion. Because that is what it is -- an illegal invasion of our country which is supported by the president, those who hire illegals and their bought-for politicians, liberals, and writers at the Wall Street Journal.

No Americans want their neighbors to the south to suffer, but we also do not want our country taken over by those waving Mexican flags, speaking Spanish, and acting like they have a right to be here. They have no rights here, and Americans should not have to pay for their health care, their schooling and their criminals to stay in our prisons. Now, I know many want only to work and live peacefully, and that's fine with me -- but, they must be here legally, must pay taxes, must learn the language and become a part of the fabric of our nation, not an outside group waving foreign flags and openly defying our laws.

p>This problem has been created over a long period of time, but since 9/11 it has become an urgent problem, and those who do not see it that way don't want to see the truth. Tunnels, gun battles at the border, drugs, gangs. Something must be done. We need to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff without being called names. br> -- Deborah Durkee br> Marietta, Georgia
