Having been a resident of Hamilton for four years now, I have become accustomed to reading the reactionary sentiments that are so often submitted to the editor of the Hamilton JournalNews.

I find it amusing that the writer of this letter laments and even bad mouths those he considers are engaging in "bitter reactions" regarding Barak Obama. For eight years, that's all that was heard from those who did not agree with GW Bush... I'm not saying that it is right, but geez---I wish everyone would just quit your complaining!

Well said, Mr. Peterson. The complete absence of not only logic but civility from most forums (especially when anonymity is allowed) is quite depressing.

There are plenty of people out here who agree with you too -- it's just that we're not willing to enter a fight with others who agree to absolutely no rules or limits on what THEY say or write. We at least try to maintain logic and civility, unlike so many others!

You all are right. The illegals shouldn't be here. We have to patrol the borders better and punish businesses that hire them. I'm just saying that we can't deny anyone human rights. That's what America was founded on. That's why the Europeans came here in the 1600's. That's what our soldiers have fought for. Most of the rights we have are human rights. If we are going to treat illegals as animals, what will that do to America's image? What do you guys want, a police state like Nazi Germany?

How can someone be racist against Americans? American is not a race. There are white Americans, black, hispanic, native, asian, etc. Lol. Wow. People really get fired up. That's what happens when the real issues are not debated.

We should better control the borders to stop them from coming in the first place. For those who are already here, we can't deny them food, shelter, education, or health. Those are not just US rights, those are human rights. And yes, constitutionally, those born here are US citizens. We can't deport people and break up families who are otherwise law abiding. And we have to stop being racist on these issues. Most of the people who complain about Mexicans wouldn't complain about illegal Candadians.

So by forcing a segment of the population to be unemployed, to not receive healthcare when they're sick, to be transient or homeless, and to not have money for food, the "Illegal Problem" will go away? This would do nothing but spread disease, blight, unrest, and crime. Are you going to take care of the legal American children who are separated from their illegal parents because they are unable to care for them after these changes? How is this in any way a wise solution? Keep thinking...

"It's not about race, ethnicity or nationality, it's about respect for the law."(ks) America has a law about not torturing. We have a law about attacking countries who do not attack us first. We have a law about outing covert CIA personnel. We have laws about sending service men to their deaths because of lies. We have laws about lying in campaigns and lying about candidates. We have laws about firing people just because they won't do your political bidding. To ks, 2001 - 2008 didn't count.

While I'm forever grateful for veterans, especially during this holiday weekend when we recognize our independence, true benevolent service isn't done with an attitude of entitlement or self-righteousness. I'd like to see an air of humility in many of the veteran voices heard here - voices that don't look down on those of us who haven't served in the armed forces, as if we're second class citizens.

As for illegal immigrants: whenever complainers have a VIABLE solution, let us know.

There is nothng wrong with benevolence, but that should never be part of governance and the enforcement of law. Justice must be blind. The "touchy feelers" have dictated public policy for too long, and that is why we have no order in our society. It's not about race, ethnicity or nationality, it's about respect for the law...... Where are our statesmen and women? The current Congressional and federal leadership is absurd.
