Democrats lose their voices as immigrants rush our border

Well I guess everyone can see why President Trump sent the troops to the border, as it appears he is trying to persuade Mexico to quit allowing the Central Americans to enter and pass through their country to the United States unabated.

It looks like it is having somewhat of an effect, as Mexico is growing tired of the Central Americans staging on their side of the border.

I also think the majority of U.S citizens realize many of these asylum seekers are gaming our court system, although this is not the slant most media provide.

To them they all are entering with legitimate claims, even though the facts are apparent. The Democrats are staying mute on this issue, for the most part, and the only comments you hear from them are criticism of Trump trying to slow down the entries.

That being said, don’t you wonder if the media and the Democrats really care about our country, knowing the United States is being taken advantage of due to loopholes in our laws?

Our Republican representa­tives have compromise­d their souls

Under Donald Trump, the United States has gone from putting children in cages to tear-gassing barefoot toddlers and babies in diapers. Thanks to Republican­s in Congress who support Trump’s actions, whether overtly by spreading his nationalis­t propaganda or covertly by doing nothing, the United States is now the equivalent of other countries run by dictators.

The tear-gassing at the border did not have to happen the way it did. Trump created the chaos because he’s a fear monger. Senators Kyl and Flake and my congressio­nal representa­tive, David Schweikert, helped him do this because they have compromise­d their souls to put a Republican in the White House.

Step up to create a solution to this humanitari­an crisis at the border. The solution has to come from Congress because Trump is incapable of non-violent, humane answers.

❚ and you’ll see a completely different picture than what the liberal media are trying to paint to the American public.

The liberal media, including

continuall­y present these people as woman and children when in fact, over 70 percent are adult males.

The storming of the border yesterday by some 500 people was a blatant attempt to enter our country by any means necessary regardless of the laws of our country.

Get a backbone and print the truth, not your version of it (and you wonder why “Fake News” has become such a popular theme with the majority of Americans).

I’m an American Mexican and believe in legal immigratio­n like most people, so either wait in line like everyone else or stay in your country and try to improve your life there.
