The Honorable Chuck Hagel and Lee Terry

Dear Sirs:

I expect no reply to this as it is my experience that messages that are critical never receive responses. No matter.

Let there be no mistake. Border protection and immigration enforcement are deal breakers with the majority of the American public. You have the power to close the border immediately, and if you don’t you can kiss the up and coming elections good-by. Forget about some insignificant “5 year plan.” If you go wobbly-kneed on the enforcement of the laws that you have created, the same is true. You must find an acceptable solution for filling the void caused by the retirement of 78.2 million “baby boomer,” as the public will insure that the people for whom they vote will respect the rule of law. Ever thought of “legal immigration?’

I have been a loyal Republican for decades. I have supported the party with vigor and with finances, to the extent I have been able. Like many other’s I have stopped the funding, and am changing my voter registration to independent.

American’s have reached the tipping point, and this will be a defining moment for the Party.

I suggested to Bill Frist, that he check with state voter registrars before taking a “soft” approach in this issue, to determine just how many Republicans have reregistered as in independent.

I no longer refer to myself as a Republican, rather a Reagan Conservative. Not just because of immigration, but also because of the Parties inability to control spending, reform taxes, or cut the size of government by one-third.

I am sorry, but I fear the decision you reach is a career decision.

Sincerely,

David C. Zickefoose
