This letter is concerning the recent article on Commissioner Buddy Allen.

I was curious if Mr. Allen could tell us how many illegal immigrants have been removed since the junk ordinance was put into play.

Mr. Allen stated the junk ordinance was a valuable tool in the battle against illegal immigrants. I was curious as to how well this was working for us.

If he thinks the legal citizens of this county are so unintelligent as to buy that we must give up freedoms so that our government can combat a problem that it helped create, well, he has another thing coming. The fact that he would imply this makes me very angry and I am betting I am not alone.

We do need our government – local, state and federal – to address this issue. However, I think we need to send a message as voters and vote all those out of office that have either fed this problem, or sat back and watched as it took place.

This is the only way to send the message that we have had enough.

Mr. Allen, while I applaud your willingness to address this problem, please find a better way to do it than to ask us to give up our rights and freedoms.

— Ruth Moses, Albertville
