An Open Letter from the Jamiel Shaw Family to Steven Colbert

September 24, 2010

 

Dear Stephen Colbert,

In preparing this open letter to you, I am literally fighting back the tears!  It truly breaks my heart that so many people in positions of power and authority continue to make light of illegal immigration!    

Are you aware of, and/or concerned with the fact, that American citizens and legal immigrants are murdered everyday by illegal aliens?   Have you ever spent one second thinking about that?    

In speaking to Congress today, do you think you would have prepared anything different if one of your loved ones was murdered by an illegal alien? You think you would make fun of this illegal alien invasion if you lost a loved one to this crime? 

What if your mother was shot in the head by an illegal alien? Do you think you could make that funny?   What about your children? Would it be comical if your daughter or your son or your niece or nephew was lying in the street dead, shot in the head, by someone living in this country illegally? 

Here’s a challenge for you Mr. Colbert.  I challenge you to visit a Memorial Plaque in Los Angeles, California.  The Plaque where my 17 year old nephew, Jamiel Andre’ Shaw II, was murdered on March 2, 2008, by a documented illegal alien gang member. 

Minutes after Jamiel hung up the phone with his father Jamiel Sr., Jamiel was shot in the stomach and then shot in the head, three doors from our home.  Jamiel’s mother, U.S. Army Sergeant Anita Shaw was serving in Iraq when her son was murdered.  Would you like to meet Anita, Mr. Colbert?

I challenge you to visit where Cheryl Green was murdered in Los Angeles.  Cheryl Green was 14 years old when she was shot and left for dead by an illegal alien.  She was riding her bike across an imaginary line that the illegal alien gang members told each other, “the next black person that crosses this line will die”.  Would you like to meet Cheryl’s mother, Charlene Lovett?  I’m sure she could use a good laugh!

Maybe walking the streets of Los Angeles are not a challenge you would accept.  So, how about Arizona, Mr. Colbert?  I challenge you to visit the place where Robert Krentz was murdered by an illegal alien.  Robert Krentz was 58.  He was a well-liked cattle rancher, working on his 34,000 acre ranch, when he and his dog were shot dead by an illegal alien.  

These are just three of the American Citizens who I’m sure were not laughing when they were shot and murdered.  Unfortunately, we have a long list of names of American citizens who were murdered by illegal aliens.   Would you like to see their faces and meet their families?

As a matter of fact, there are tens of thousands of Americans across the United States of America who were murdered and left for dead by people who were never supposed to be in the USA!   Many of these criminals have never been caught!

If you decide to accept this challenge, why not invite about 40 families who lost love ones due to illegal immigration, to come to your studio?  Then, you can tell us all about your experience working on this farm. You can even tell us, “how bad your back was hurting when you were working with illegal aliens”.  I wonder how many families would laugh and think that’s funny.     

To be honest with you, I’m having a very hard time trying to understand why Representative Zoe Lofgren invited you, to speak on this serious issue!  Perhaps she too thinks illegal immigration is a laughing matter!   She seriously needs to be replaced!! 

Call me Mr. Colbert if you accept this challenge, because I know my family would love a good laugh!!

 

Sincerely,

Jamiel Shaw’s Angry Aunt!

Zogby called today, and asked if I'd participate in a survey. There were numerous questions, but eventually they asked me to describe in "one word" how I felt about our government. Well, let's see. I am angry, frustrated, disappointed, hopeful... but I could only chose one word. What one word could possibly sum up how I feel?

I am angry that Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren thinks so little of her oath of office, that she would make a mockery of the United States Congress by turning it into comedy central.

I am frustrated that Colbert would insult the memory of so many Americans killed by illegal aliens, by attempting to make the illegal aliens the victims. 

I am disappointed that Congressman Conyers and the other members of the committee did not walk out.

I am hopeful that my fellow citizens will vote most of the scum on Capitol Hill out of office next month.

After yesterday's testimony by comedian Steven Colbert on Capitol Hill, the one word this veteran would use to describe how I feel about our government: ASHAMED.

That is what I told Zogby. The Shaw Family from Los Angeles isn't laughing either. Are you?
