Bishop Wester: The problem in our country is not with immigrants. The sad problem is with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Why can you not see that any and all of the people who have come into our country through other than legal means are breaking our immigration laws and need to be transported back to the country from which they came????? I am thoroughly disgusted with this situation. You people only refer to illegals as immigrants. That is not right and you are hiding behind the truth. Please, please help this country to rid itself of illegal immigrant people. You will be doing them and us a great service. I would appreciate your response.
