Illegal alien wars -my own perpective- part 3

I have been in this battle against illegal immigration since before 2000. I date my anti-illegal stance to the great late George Putnam, the legendary patriotic journalist who aired 2 hrs during lunch on AM 870 in late 90's. He was my inspiration and nourishment in my conversion to a decided anti-illegel stance.

One of George's frequent guests was a fiery, outspoken LA South- Central resident named Terry Anderson who just recently passed away, a sad loss for the anti-illegal immigation movement. Terry would rage against the effects of the illegal alien inundation upon South Central LA in no uncertain terms, how illegals were driving African-Americans out of the trades by lowering wages, and the complete trashing of SCentral by the invading illegals.

I used to listen regularly to George Putman weekdays on my car radio while i was doing my delivery duties in West LA in late 90's. He had very few listeners back then, as no one took illegal immigration very seriously during those generally prosperous pre-2000 years, and it was mostly an LA problem back then. George was actually a few years ahead of the curve and at a very advanced age(he was in his 80''s).
Note that entire USA did not really get on the anti-illegal bandwagon until the first recession of 2001-2003, and the anti-illegal immigration movement really picked up speed/ gained ground during this period. The influential John & Ken AM 640 talk radio show(2-7 weekdays), were among those who took up the cudgel.
( I sent them a dozen or so faxes/letters in 2003 to give them a prod).

George Putman passed away at age 94 on Sept 12, 2008, near his Chino hills ranch home. Very few in MSM took notice of the passing away of this legendary influential TV/radio journalist & newscaster, as he had become very conservative in his views in his later years, pretty much a reactionary, though he was in fact a lifelong Democrat. But If he was still alive today he would be a combative spokesman against the illegal invasion, would be in the thick of the battle, and his outspoken fiery, uncompromising stance combined with his weighty experience in world/US affairs would add an enormous asset to the anti-illegal-immigrant movement.
