The U S Government has become dangerous to all U S Citizens.

Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing
havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized.
Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual living or not living the
productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives.
Once the Government considers a person or persons an outsider, they are
considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their
disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity, has become
a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are
satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and
indifferent to any advancement.
America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and the realm of outer space.
The government has sold-out to the destruction of this planet with endless violations,
removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all
ecosystems for the natural forms of life.
The elderly, in their time to relax and enjoy the things they have accomplished, the
government relentlessly hounds, reminding the retired they are still useful and can be of
some consequence to the community around them. The government continues to rely on
production and progress, the very accomplishments that are burying any hopes of this
planet Earth from ever recovering from absolute destruction.
The End

I’ve just become aware of the pending Bill H.R.1176 and demand that you oppose this bill.

H.R.1176

To provide discretionary authority to an immigration judge to determine that an alien parent of a United States citizen child should not be ordered removed, deported, or excluded from the United States.

We are a nation of strong values and keeping families together is a most important issue. By no means should any family members be separated due to their legal status in our country.

This bill should be re-written! At any time, a family member is found to be illegally in our country, their entire family needs to be deported to their country of origin immediately.

Please keep families together, deport together, and demand they return together to their own countries.

Thank You for your immediate attention.
