Letters

 

I've correspondence with my state and federal representatives for a number of years with limited results. I started saving my emails to and from elected officials, I've posted them here for all to read. They are not in any order or by office.

In June of 2006 I sent an Email to Senator Patty Murray. Wanting her to support English as the official language of the United States. I also sent a copy of my response to Senator Murray's email to Senator Cantwell.

Dear Mr. Lancaster:

Thank you for contacting me about the status of the English language in the United States. I appreciate hearing from you, and apologize for the delay in my response.

In the 109th Congress, several pieces of legislation were introduced that would establish English as the official language of the United States. This included H.J.Res 43, which would have amended the Constitution to make English our official language, while H.R.997 and H.R. 4408 were introduced in the House of Representatives and would have made English our national language through federal statute. Additionally, H.R.136 would have repealed Executive Order 13166 and prohibit federal funding of any service that current law requires be provided in languages other than English. Each of these bills would have had a significant impact on the ability of non-English speaking Americans to access essential services and to exercise their rights as Americans.

Strong economic and social pressures already compel most Americans and those living in America to learn English. Statistics show all but a small percentage of Americans already speak English. A law or Constitutional amendment mandating English as the official language of the United States government is divisive and will not assist non-English speaking Americans in learning English. Rather than dividing our country, we should encourage citizens to learn English to hasten their integration and acceptance into American society and to maximize their economic competitiveness. Towards this goal, we should provide better support for public and private efforts to teach the English language.

As a U.S. Senator, I have worked hard to fully fund child and adult literacy programs, such as English as a second language (ESL) education. I believe it is critical to promote community initiatives that give Americans the skills they need to succeed, including the ability to speak English. Rest assured, should any of these bills or similar legislation before the Senate in the 110th Congress, I will certainly keep your views in mind.

Once again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch.

Sincerely,


Patty Murray
United States Senator

My Response to Senator Murray and cc to Senator Cantwell

Dear Senator Murray,

Thank you for your response about English as the official language of the United States. You stated in your response “Each of these bills would have had a significant impact on the ability of non-English speaking Americans to access essential services and to exercise their rights as Americans.”

According to the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (www.uscis.gov), one of the requirements to become a citizen is, “an ability to read, write and speak English.” So the argument you put forward is mute according Federal requirements for citizenship i.e. American.
I agree that services to teach everyone who wants to learn English should be provided such as the programs offered at most Washington Colleges. I’ve taught the adult illiterate to read though our local communality colleges, 60% of our clients were high school graduates. Teaching Americans English as a second language doesn’t make sense; English is required to become a citizen. Your statement “Statistics show all but a small percentage of Americans already speak English.” This is true to a point since a requirement for becoming an American citizen is as stated. So what is the true reason you are against English as the official language of the United States? According to polls taken around the country by Luntz Research Companies, Time/CNN, New York Times/CBS News show a high majority of Americans want English as our official. I can only surmise that protecting the non-existent rights if immigrants and/or illegal immigrants is the only reason to oppose English as our official language. Since the majority of the citizens in the State of Washington want English as the official language and you as a Senator are our States representative why are you opposing the will of the people? Could it be that you are beholding to the DNC and other special interest groups that pay outrageous sums of money to get you re-elected and instead of listening to the people of your state you are a follower of the party line? You and 98 other Senators, it seems Lieberman is beholding to no one but the people of this state. The power that a U.S. Senator has is/or should be bestowed by the people of the state not by special interests. The Senator should answer to the citizen of the state not to a National Committee. Since 1913 the Senate has become irresponsible, narcissistic, and totally out of control. The scope and separation of the power provide for in the Constitution has been destroyed by the 17th Amendment. We as citizens need to take back our ability to have our Senators appointed to office. Then and only then would you, Senator Murray have to answer to the State Legislators for failing to represent the State. Why when the majority of your constituents want English as the official language would you oppose us? You know better than we? You were elected to make our decisions? I believe a U S Senator is elected to represent states rights at the federal level but since the illegally ratification of the 17th Amendment and your election by popular vote you have a responsibility to your state. Yes I read your accomplishment and you seem to bring home a lot of pork, pork that would not be there if we hadn’t violated our sacred trust passed down by the founding fathers. Conflicts are commonplace in Washington D C on both sides of the aisle yet it seems unless it leaks to the press a wink and a nod and maybe a harsh word rectifies the conflict. Senator Murray I have a number of friends who supplement there income by farming. CHRISTMAS TREE FARMING. It’s an occupation listed with the Department of Agriculture and many of your fellow citizen rely on those Christmas Tree for part if not all of there income yet even after our State donated a Tree for the National Christmas Tree you are politically bound by some oath not to say the word Christmas? It’s a Christmas Tree Senator not a Holiday Tree.
The language issue is important to many Americans; they want our Congress to not only protect our country but our language too.
Theodore Roosevelt wrote the following 3 days before his death.
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
– Theodore Roosevelt, letter to the American Defense Society (January 3, 1919)
That pretty much says it all. Either legal immigrants assimilate into American society or returns to the country where there loyalties lie. This spring my wife and I are planning a trip to Vicksburg National Military Park, Shiloh National Military Park, Pall Mall, Tennessee to a little know park dedicated to Alvin C York a Metal of Honor winner from the First World War and the Birthplace of Abraham Lincoln on the 199 anniversary of his birth.
What binds most of American History is the common language of our founding fathers. Not one sign will be in Spanish or any other language because this is our nation and English is our national language.

Respectfully,

Randy G Lancaster

Senator Cantwell's Response to the CC of the above email.

Subject: From the Office of Senator Cantwell

Dear Mr. Lancaster ,

Thank you for contacting me regarding your views on establishing an official language of the United States . I appreciate hearing your views on this issue.

I believe that English is the common language of the United States . Its use provides a sense of unity for the melting pots of cultures and ethnicities that played a key role in America 's formation and contribute to its continued growth. For this reason, current law requires applicants for citizenship in the United States to demonstrate their ability to read, write, and speak English, and prove a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government.

On May 25, 2006, the Senate passed the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act by a vote of 62-36. I voted for this legislation because it contains numerous provisions to enhance border security, creates a guest worker program to meet the needs of state businesses, and confronts the issue of undocumented immigrants. A key provision of this legislation reiterates the need for immigrants to learn English as one of several steps they must take before than can earn citizenship.

In addition, I supported an amendment ( S.A. 4073) to this legislation introduced by Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) declaring that the English language is the "common and unifying language of the United States ," and calling for efforts to be made to preserve and enhance usage of the English language. You will be pleased to know that this amendment was passed on May 18, 2006, by a vote of 58-39. However, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act was not enacted by the close of the 109th Congress, and will therefore need to be reintroduced for further consideration.

Like you, I believe that it is important to promote integration of immigrants into the United States by using a common language. However, I am concerned that efforts to limit the availability of government services for persons with limited or no English proficiency may endanger the public's heath and may inhibit emergency preparedness systems. The United States government must have the ability and legal authority to disseminate critical information in a timely fashion in the case of another hurricane, terrorist attack, or other emergency. For instance, facing the threat of an avian flue pandemic or other public health emergency, the United States government must be able to quickly disseminate information to all communities, regardless of the primary language spoken, in order to stem the spread of the disease.

I support programs that provide all Americans with access and opportunity in our society, but I also believe it is important for all citizens to learn English. To that end, I am supportive of efforts to provide English as a Second Language classes and other similar initiatives to help immigrants learn our common language. Please be assured I will keep your views in mind should the Senate consider other legislation on this issue.

Thank you again for contacting me to share your thoughts on this matter. Finally, you may be interested in signing up for my weekly update for Washington State residents. Every Monday, I provide a brief outline about my work in the Senate and issues of importance to Washington State . If you are interested in subscribing to this update, please visit my website at http://cantwell.senate.gov . Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of further assistance.

Following was an Item from Senator Murray's New letter sent to me on January 19th, 2007

From: Murray, Webmaster (Murray) [Webmaster@murray.senate.gov]

Subject: Changing the Way Business is Done in DC - U.S. Senator Patty Murray's Washington View

AG NEWS: Working for Washington State Farm Families
A Step Toward a Stable Farm Workforce

This week I helped sponsor the Agricultural Job Opportunity, Benefits, and Security This bill would help secure a legal and dependable farm workforce by providing better working conditions for farm workers in the U.S. It will also help to ensure that farm workers who have been working and paying taxes in the U.S. receive proper legal protections.

My Response

. Senator Murray,

Have you talked to anyone other than farmers or farm workers about this bill full
of holes.
Single male farm worker get arrested all the time. Judges release them, they
change there names move elsewhere and do as they please.
I sent you an email with the stats on illegal immigrants and they are destroying
American and this bill I believe borders on treason. Senator Open your eyes,
look what 13,000,000 ILLIGAL ALIENS are doing to our country and our kids. These
people are undocumented and untrackable. We know more about our beef supply and
track cows better than these invaders in our country.
I will do all I can to stop this attempt to by pass federal law.

Dear Mr. Lancaster,

Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts regarding immigration reform. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.

On May 25, 2006, the Senate passed the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act by a vote of 62-36. I voted for this legislation because it contains numerous provisions to enhance border security, creates a guest worker program to meet the needs of state businesses, and confronts the issue of undocumented immigrants.

I firmly believe that any changes to our national policy on immigration must keep border security and enforcement as a top priority. If enacted, this legislation would authorize 14,000 additional border agents and at least 2,500 port of entry inspectors, and would authorize a virtual fence to allow the border to be patrolled with unmanned aircraft, cameras, sensors, and other technology, expanding the reach and effectiveness of our border security personnel. It would also authorize the hiring of 10,000 agents to enforce employment regulations as part of a program that would require employers to check Social Security numbers of new hires against a federal database.

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act includes a measure I sponsored to help northern border communities cover the high cost of prosecuting Federal border crimes. Based on an existing program for the southern border, this provision would authorize almost $30 million annually to reimburse border communities for the cost of prosecuting cases, detaining suspects, and constructing holding spaces. The Senate immigration reform bill also incorporates legislation I cosponsored to make it a crime to construct or finance a tunnel across a border leading into the U.S. Currently, tunnel construction is not a crime, meaning suspects only face drug conspiracy or illegal immigration charges, and are not charged for the actual tunnel construction, even though it poses a serious threat to national security. This provision would subject guilty parties to a prison term of up to 20 years, and hold property owners who permit tunnel construction accountable. An amendment I cosponsored with other Northwest Senators to direct the Defense Department to use unmanned aerial vehicles for border surveillance along the northern border as part of a one-year pilot program was also included.

Immigration policy must also address the need to fill labor shortages in certain fields such as technology and agriculture, and accommodate market demands for foreign labor. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act expands our temporary guest worker program to allow up to 200,000 foreign workers to obtain visas and fill vacant jobs in the United States, a change that will help meet the needs of businesses and agriculture producers. Individuals would receive a three-year visa, renewable once, and would be eligible to apply for permanent residence after holding a visa for a period of 4 years.

The bill would also make illegal immigrants who have been in the United States since April 5, 2001 eligible for legal status after working in the United States for six years, passing a background check, paying back taxes, holding a job, learning civics and English, and paying a $3,250 fine. Illegal immigrants who have been in this country between two and five years would have to register with the Department of Homeland Security. Within three years of their registration, they would have to leave the United States and could return by applying for a visa. After clearing a background check, paying back taxes, and meeting other requirements, these individuals would qualify for legal permanent residence status. An additional 1.5 million agricultural workers would be eligible for permanent legal residence if they could prove they worked in agriculture in the United States previously, and if they worked three to five more years in agriculture.

To help meet the needs of Washington state's high-tech industries, the bill increases the annual H1-B visa cap from 65,000 to 115,000. It also includes a bipartisan measure, which I sponsored, to increase the proportion of visas currently issued each year to highly-skilled workers, and to workers with advanced degrees. In doing so, this provision would help meet America's growing need for scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.

As you may know, the House of Representatives passed its version of the immigration reform legislation on December 16, 2006. However, the House and Senate did not reconcile the two versions of this legislation before the close of the 109th Congress. Please be assured that I will keep your comments in mind should I have the opportunity to consider legislation reforming our nation's immigration policy in the 110th Congress.

Thank you again for contacting me to share your thoughts on this matter. Finally, you may be interested in signing up for my weekly update for Washington state residents. Every Monday, I provide a brief outline about my work in the Senate and issues of importance to Washington state.

Senator Murray wants to attach the (AgJOBS) Act of 2007 to Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act. Searching Bill and Resolutions on the Federal Web site I found a Bill sponsored by Senator Cantwell and objected to the following:

110th CONGRESS

1st Session January 4, 2007

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES MR. REID (for himself and MR. Leahy and _____ ) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

A BILL

To recognize the heritage of the United States as a nation of immigrants and amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for more effective border and employment enforcement, to prevent illegal immigration, to reform and rationalize avenues for legal immigration, and for other purposes.

See Full Bill Senator Patrick Leahy

My Email Response to Senator Cantwell supporting such language.

Dear Senator Cantwell,

I object to the following statement made in S 9 IS (January 4, 2007) “To recognize the heritage of the United States as a nation of immigrants”

I am not an immigrant; I hold no allegiance to any other country but the United States of America. I was born an American, raised as an American, learned the history of America, My family is in it’s 11th generation as Americans and we use no prefix before American to describe ourselves. i.e. African, Mexican, Irish, etc. Members of my family have been in every war since United States proclaimed it’s independences including the latest actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. So we have shed our blood for this Country we were born and raised in and do not consider our nation to be an immigrant nation. Yes, we accept immigrants into our country legally and welcome them into this country if they are willing to assimilate into the American Society. This can only be accomplished by the immigrant learning to speak, write and read English, learn our history and how our Government works. They must be willing to hold no allegiance to any other country or flag but that of the United States and only then can they become a citizen of our great Country.

Please consider changing the wording of this bill out of respect for native born Americans. If you consider the United State an immigrant nation, then all of the countries of Europe and Asia are immigrant nations if the “Out of Africa” theory is to be believed.

Respectfully Submitted,

Randy G Lancaster


I've sent copies of the above emails to Washington State Legislators Senator Hatfield, Representives Blake and Tako.

The Following emails have been sent to the above Washington Legislators with there responses.

Gentlemen,

I’ve read a number of proposed ballot measures to protect Washington State Citizens from illegal immigrants. I’ve sent the statistics to you on the criminal activities of illegal immigrants and receive a short reply from Mr. Blake stating “I share your concerns”.
Do you know that our state can gives benefits to anyone without proof of citizenship? How much of the Governors proposed 30 Billion dollar 2 year budget for our state will be spent on illegal immigrants? If left to the state bureaucrats they find ways to give taxpayers money away with loose state laws. The following law is on the Washington State Web Site:

WAC 388-476-0005
Social Security number requirements.
(1) With certain exceptions, each person who applies for or receives cash, medical or food assistance benefits must provide to the department a Social Security number (SSN), or numbers if more than one has been issued.

(2) If the person is unable to provide the SSN, either because it is not known or has not been issued, the person must:

(a) Apply for the SSN;

(b) Provide proof that the SSN has been applied for; and

(c) Provide the SSN when it is received.

(3) Assistance will not be delayed, denied or terminated pending the issuance of an SSN by the Social Security Administration. However, a person who does not comply with these requirements is not eligible for assistance.

(4) For cash, medical, and food assistance benefits, a person cannot be disqualified from receiving benefits for refusing to apply for or supply an SSN based on religious grounds.

(5) For food assistance programs:

(a) A person can receive benefits for the month of application and the following month if the person attempted to apply for the SSN and made every effort to provide the needed information to the Social Security Administration.

(b) A newborn may receive benefits for up to six months from the date of birth if the household is unable to provide proof of application for an SSN at the time of birth.

(6) For medical programs, a newborn as described in WAC 388-505-0210(1) is eligible for categorically needy (CN) medical without meeting the SSN requirement until the baby's first birthday.

(7) There is no SSN requirement for the following programs:

(a) The consolidated emergency assistance program;

(b) The refugee cash and medical assistance program;

(c) The alien emergency medical program;

(d) The state-funded pregnant woman program; and

(e) Detoxification services.

This boggles the mind. A loophole that needs to be plugged… I could fill pages of such loopholes in the DSH rules and laws costing TAXPAYERS Millions of dollars.
Cantwell and Murray are not protecting us at the Federal level and the State is failing to allow our Law enforcement to arrest and turn over illegals to the INS. Our State has made the decision not to enforce immigrations laws because the Federal Government has dropped the ball. It’s called “Under the color of law”. The argument put forward that we needed these illegal immigrated to pick our crops and clean our houses and plant our tree is an oxymoron if you Gentlemen agree with our minimum wage law? I talked to employers on this issue and found that they (3 companies) hire illegals under the table for $5 an hour for temporary work. This is not the exception it’s the rule for small businesses needing temporary help. I am not a mean person wanting to deny benefits to persons of need, or deny employment to anyone willing to work. I am a combat veteran, father, grandfather and a life long resident of the State of Washington and a US Citizen that just wants to be protected by my State and Federal government from an invasion of our country by foreign nationals illegally residing in our state and country and receiving benefits that should be going to citizens. We have an estimated 300,000 undocumented illegal aliens residing in our state that we have NO way knowing what they are doing? This is a roaming band of unknown persons inside our state not subject to our laws or rules. If they are arrested and normally released they just relocate and continue there criminal activities. Of course not all illegal aliens are doing this but how do we make that distinction? ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL.
I have case law from the Federal Courts that state that enforcement of Federal immigration laws by state law-enforcement is legal. Police powers are "an exercise of the sovereign right of the government to protect the lives, health, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the people…" Manigault v. Springs, 199 U.S. 473, 480 (1905).
The Court’s conclusion presupposes that state officers possess the inherent authority to make warrantless arrests for federal offenses. The same assumption guided the Court in Miller v. United States. 357 U.S. 301, 305 (1958). As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "[state] officers have implicit authority to make federal arrests." U.S. v. Janik, 723 F.2d 537, 548 (7th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, they may initiate an arrest on the basis of probable cause to think that an individual has committed a federal crime. Id.
I have many citations by the courts but yet I see no enforcement by the government to protect the lives, health, morals, comfort and the general welfare of the people by this invasion of our State and Country.
Gentlemen I can go on and on with legal arguments, statistics and common sense but I’m pretty sure that you are aware of all of this. My question is: “what are you going to do about this”. I am available to meet with any of you to discuss this issue and attempt to find a solution. As it stands our States response to this problem is unacceptable.
I am investigating a ballot measure to force the state to refuse all benefits to illegal aliens and to require federal immigration laws to be enforced at the state level based on case law. I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake up the state legislation to this threat? God forbid that one of the members become a victim of an illegal alien as has happened to my family.
I look forward to hearing from you on this issue. Your concerns for health benefit and education are important and many more dollars could be available for citizens and legal aliens if our state corrects the inequities in funding non-citizens.

Respectfully
Randy G. Lancaster

Gentlemen:

Our State is under attack and you as our representatives are sworn under RCW 43.01.020 (“support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the state of Washington”) I could quote both State and Federal Constitutions but you should know your duties to the citizens and the state.
Illegal immigrants are destroying our state and country, government is at fault. WE THE PEOPLE are being killed, injured, raped, deprived of property, and loosing billions of dollars in tax money to support or house or imprison these illegal aliens in our state and country.
Do you want the statistics? In 1980, our Federal and state facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in U.S. correctional facilities, as follows: 46,000 in Federal prisons, 74,000 in state prisons, 147,000 in local jails. Read the following GOA report at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d05646r.pdf
Of the 55,322 illegal aliens studied, researchers found that they were arrested a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien
They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien.
36% had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions; 22%, 2 to 4 times; and only 12% once.
49% had previously been convicted of a felony: 20% of a drug offense; 18%, a violent offense; and 11%, other felony offenses.
56% of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.
81% of the arrests occurred after 1990
Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest,
50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies.
Do you find these statistics shocking? WE THE PEOPLE find this unacceptable. And it becomes worse by the day.

A conservative estimate of the illegal alien population includes 240,000 sex offenders. This translates to 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders coming across U.S. borders illegally per day. A study of 1,500 offenders had a total of 5,999 victims, an average of four victims for each sex offender.
Breaking down the 1,500 cases reviewed:
617, or 41 %, were sexual homicides and serial murders
525, or 35 %, were child molestations
358, or 24 %, were rapes
Do you have children or like me grand children?
Of the child molestations, 47% of the victims were Hispanic, 36% Caucasian, 8% Asian, 6% African American and 3% other nationalities. In 82% of the cases the victims were known to their attackers. In those instances, the illegal immigrants typically gained access to the victims after having worked as a day laborer at or near the victims' homes. Victims ranged in age from 1 year old to 13 years old, with the average age being 6.


Health care costs are running away why? I can again quote stats but just do a little investigating on your own. Check out our local (Longview) emergency room. WE THE PEOPLE do not want to give our tax money away under the color of law because the federal government won’t provide for the common defense.
Washington State web sites are adding foreign languages everyday to help who? Citizens get benefits? To become a citizen you are required to read, speak and write English. So having foreign languages on state phone lines, state web site and state documents is for one purpose, to allow illegal aliens to steal from the citizens of the State of Washington with the consent of our government.
Gentlemen if you ask the people of your districts how many have been victims of illegal aliens and if they received justice I think you would be surprised. My family has had three such crimes by illegal aliens and all have avoided prosecution and labiality, my sister has been disabled and under medical care for 6 months after being t-boned by an illegal alien with a suspended license and no insurance who was released from jail and left the area. We have thousands of illegal aliens roaming our state hurting, killing and raping our citizens and getting away with it. Stand up and protect us pass laws profiting #1 NO state benefits to non citizens #2 harsh punishment for employers #3 proof of legal status to obtain housing. If we deny employment, housing and benefits to ILLEGAL aliens they will leave. Proof of legal status must be required to obtain a drivers license business license etc. I see illegal businesses operating in our state daily. Some street corners in many of our cities is the place to pick up an illegal to work for cash under minimum wage undocumented and not under the laws of our state or country.

Please do something before our state dissolves into vigilante justice.
WE THE PEOPLE need someone to stand up and protect our state and it’s people from this attack on our country.

Respectfully,
Randy G Lancaster
