Re: State of the Union

I am so glad that we will finally hear from President Donald Trump in the State of the Union address.

I am so tired of hearing all the negative reporting that are nothing but attacks on our president by the fake news.

Is no one concerned about chaos on our borders? I have not heard anyone address the issue regarding establishing responsible entry into our country. If we just support what laws that are already in place and well established how hard would that be? The issue of the wall in a real one and needs to be enacted along rules for illegal immigrants. The president has tried working with the opposition with no consensus or ideas. Just a big no.

We are a sovereign nation with a Constitution and the rule of law. You want to come to our country and be a citizen here, respect and obey our laws, pledge to support our country and contribute in a positive way.

Mercifully, three of the five council members who voted for this prejudiced and pointless exercise are no longer on the council. What’s more, the council now boasts two Latino-american members who presumably understand the damaging and divisive impact this resolution has on the psyche and well-being of other local Latinoamericans, to say nothing of the social embarrassment this resolution reflects on all residents of Yuba City.

Hopefully, Vice Mayor Cardoza and Councilmember Espindola can lead the council out of this dark and embarrassing moment by presenting a strong and united voice calling for the repeal of that resolution.
