Not FAIR!


You hear these days a lot of issues that will probably be apart of the political campaigns next year. Two issues that really bug me are =


  • illegal immigrants

  • student loan debt


These issues bother me greatly. I have a personal viewpoint on both.


Illegals =

My mother came over from England. She married an American. She did the proper paperwork and went through Hell coming over to America. She is a LEGAL citizen. She has worked for years in America. She has paid her taxes. She has done everything you are supposed to do. Her sister = who also wanted to come to America = was denied. She ended up going to another country because of this. Now = we let in thousands of people from various countries that do not speak English, they do not follow the Western Civilization way, they are not employable, they are not educated, and in some cases they come from countries that don't like America!


This is horrible. This is unfair. This disgusts me. This is a slap in the face to all those that properly came to America = followed the rules and became legal citizens in America.


Student Loan Debt =

I went to the University of New Orleans. I took out a student loan. I do not come from money. I had to borrow in order to obtain my degree. I could not afford to go to a fancy university or stay in a dorm. I went to a local university. I stayed at home. After I obtained my degree, I went out there and found a JOB! I paid back my student loan.


It makes me so angry to hear these kids complain about these outrageous large student loans. They took out these loans. They didn't care about how much they were borrowing. Now = they want someone else to pay the bill. They want the loans forgiven. They want taxpayers like ME to pay for their screw-up!


I resent all of this. I lived on a shoe string during my college days. I made do with very little and focused on my education. I made sure that I didn't borrow more than I could pay back. I worked hard to keep my grades up so I would have a scholarship for all 4 years that I was at the university. I didn't borrow $100,000 or $200,000 = that's insane = most jobs don't pay enough to pay that back = YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!


It's hard not to lose your temper when you hear about these kind of issues. These issues can really get under your skin. I feel strongly about both issues.


America can be full of real injustice at time. WE should never reward people that break the law and force their way into our country illegally. WE should never make everything in life free = people do not value free education = people do not value free things. And it really isn't free = taxpayers have to pay the bill.


Take care,

LK
