br> Altamont, New York /p> p> CHOOSING SIDES br> Re: Carol Platt Liebau's Immigration Ground Zero : /p> p>There is just one simple question that should be asked of President Bush and the United States Congress. Being duly elected in this republic, who do these sworn individuals represent, the American citizens or the Mexican government? br> -- Melvin L. Leppla br> Jacksonville, North Carolina /p> p> I just wanted to thank Carol Platt Liebau for her column on illegal immigration. She captures calmly what stirs me emotionally: a belief that this country is a special place that welcomes all, but should also expect a great deal from those who wish to immigrate here. Once the melting pot becomes a multicultural stew, this country will collapse. The melting pot is what has kept this country great, once it is no longer a collection of various nationalities combining into one stronger American identity, we will watch our country devolve into chaos. That is what most Americans know in their hearts, and that is what those who want to get a handle on the influx of illegals what to prevent. We love our country, and we only want those here who love it as we do. br> --
