Many of those asking for controls were illegal <br />immigrants who couldn't even speak English. They are mostly uneducated farm workers who come to our developed <br />cities expecting to live a lifestyle that American citizens and their ancestors have worked a lifetime for. <br />Our ancestors made up laws to protect our citizens, and small businesses, to work hard save for the future, without <br />government controls to limit our freedom. <br />These illegals are free to move where they can find work and pay for their needs. <br />Our ancestors of the 1800s didn't expect the government to provide for them , they came expecting to pay their own <br />way, not running to city council meeting demanding that they be provided with housing that others had worked and <br />saved many years to attain. <br />The free market place is the best system, churches and charities have always helped those in need. Farm labor jobs are <br />not available in major cities. <br />Alan Wagner <br />American Citizen <br />
