Sir,
The procedures in this city are that we have made an environment that is favorable for those that are not in this country legally to be harbored, to work and to take advantage of social benefits. You know it, I know it and most of the community knows it. I don't have the statistics but a large portion of our crime in Dodge City is committed by those here illegally. I sincerely believe that if we as a community adopted a stricter policy towards those here illegally that our community would be safer for those that vote and pay taxes. I would think that the health, welfare and safety of your constituants would be upper most on your agenda. Some say that perception is reality and the perception by many of the great people of our community is that we are very "soft" in the attitude of illegal immigration and that there is a great problem with this issue in our community. I would like to know what you as a city commissioner think about this situation and what suggestions do you have to make the community safer for my family, your family and all of the other good family's of Dodge City.
Sincerely,
SFC Walter W. Hermreck
