may not be illegal aliens; and arresting high school honor students who have been here since kindergarten, but don’t have $5 million dollars to buy citizenship.

The Republicans had an opportunity to pass a conservative immigration package under Biden but were discouraged from doing so by Donald Trump. It is still the job of the legislature to make the laws. The Dred Scott decision said that Negroes were not included in birthright citizenship. It was overturned by the 14th Amendment in 1868. The Republican Party at that time had an entirely different agenda and focus.

It was not the MAGA party, and any good thing the Republicans have done in the past cannot be attributed to the policies of the current administration.

Although PBS and NPR may have a liberal bent, their news is based in actual verifiable facts (not alternative ones). Silencing opposing views is not democracy it is an authoritarian dictatorship.

Speaking as a person unaffiliated with any political party, I find what’s happening in the United States completely insane! Insane in that what I am seeing is being described as the polar opposite by our politicians and many “newscasters.” I have what many have told me are the “eyes of an eagle.” I will say that what I am seeing is not peaceful demonstrations! And those are not peaceful protesters. In fact they look, to me, just like looters!

We have just celebrated the 250th birthday of our country. As a footnote, we all should know that a country is defined by its borders, and a country’s society is defined by its laws. It seems, to me, these truths are being, sadly, distorted. Does anyone out there think I could speak these words in a country like China? The founding fathers said democracy would last 300 years. The point I will leave you with is this: I hope everyone enjoyed to the fullest the 250th party. Long live the good old U.S. of A!
