Scribblings From the Desert

I am a published author and produced screenwriter living in Rancho Mirage, California with my wife, Beth, and two dogs, Crystal and Misty. I have spent most of my life in and around the Hollywood Motion Picture Business.

I have letter to the editor in newspaper:

Cut off the help now
In regard to the July 1 Valley Voice written by Larry Gibson ("Hollering and anger not fixing immigration").
He asks, "What would you do if your country was so corrupt you couldn't make a living or support your family?" He follows by saying he'd "be over that border in a flash," if it was him.

Now I ask, don't these lawbreakers have any love for their own country? Have they given up the thought of revolution? Gibson also says that these (illegal) Hispanics are here to stay and that we should "just as well accept that and shelve the intolerance," which, according to him is "find them, jail them, then kick them out."

He summarizes by saying he has no magic bullets that might solve this problem. Well how about this one? Cut off all welfare and hospital care to any person who cannot prove they are a citizen of the United States of America.

Then follow that up by passing a law that says a baby born to a noncitizen is not automatically awarded citizenship.
