The mayor of Phoenixvil­le should not be condoning an undocument­ed rally when he’s the head of the police department. Illegal means illegal. Changing the terminolog­y once an illegal alien is here to undocument­ed does not negate the crime of crossing the border illegally.

One of your president’s biggest lies was “I am self-funded.” The truth is he is funded by the same people who fill his cabinet. He has repaid them by giving them jobs for which they have no experience. We look more like Russia than the United States more and more everyday. Hawaiian Punch Party

Democrats didn’t lose the election, America did.

Mayor Speck, with regard to your comments involving illegal immigrants and your comment that undocument­ed is not a crime, you are in error sir. Illegal entry into the United States which results in the undocument­ed state is a crime and you are supporting crime when you support illegal immigrants in this country.

Please inform The Mercury of the next planned protest for undocument­ed refugees and I’ll be sure to show up with a sheet for protesters to sign guaranteei­ng that they pay and be responsibl­e solely for at least one family of refugees themselves. Be interestin­g to see how many mouths and opinions back up their ideas and just how many quickly flee. Don’t volunteer your opinions at the expense of my wallet.

The Edelstein commentary which coyly infers Trump supporters to be racist fails to mention migration trends that will erode African American influence and deliver a lower standard of living. In 1965, the Immigratio­n and Nationalit­y Act charted a much less skill-based immigratio­n path compounded by illegal migration. Edelstein’s so called “ever evolving stew” also includes ingredient­s proven fatal to Americans. Mark Furlong

Poor Bill O’Reilly they’re picking on him again. He just had to pay out $9 million for sexual harassment and Fox had to pay out $4 million. Roger Ailes he’s back in the picture again for sexual harassment. They ought to clean the swamp out of Fox News. A lot of swamp to clean out there.

I’m calling about the person that’s worried about Donald Trump being president and our water and air will be polluted. Since the 60s there’s been controls on air and water pollution and it’s gotten out of control now with the EPA. They want water and air like it was before God put man on Earth.

On Monday I called the codes department in Pottstown three different times of the day — morning, afternoon and evening. No one answers the phone. Thank you Pottstown Codes Department for being there when I need you.

I just paid my property taxes for the borough and for Montgomery County. Thank you Josh Shapiro for giving us $16 for Montgomery County Community College. The building sits in Pottstown, a tax exempt property, and we’ve still got to pay to support that directly on top of it and then $5 more in the car registrati­on. Oh yeah, Josh Shapiro I’m glad I didn’t vote for you. A Democrat

Since President Trump has turned this country around maybe he’ll start giving stimulus checks to every family just like George Bush did two times. President Trump, please consider the American people.

This is to the person that claimed “pay now or pay later” concerning the Montgomery County Community College fee on the tax bill. Let the parents pay. My husband and I paid to have both of our children attend college with no help. Maybe because we were responsibl­e parents we should get a rebate for paying for college ourselves. When are the handouts to help the irresponsi­ble parents going to end?

To the people who are thinking about developing a bike center like a velodrome in the area, I would like to suggest a wonderful place for them to build and that would be near Bally near the Padre Pio Center. Keller Williams has 183-plus beautiful farm acres for sale and I’d much rather see a velodrome go in there then any more houses on that road. So if anyone knows who it is that’s planning on developing this velodrome please pass this onto them.

Hey Night Light, there are eight hotdogs in a package and there are eight hotdog rolls in a package. Just look for them.

We can’t believe that a person would let their animal drink out of their cup and share their food. It is ridiculous. I’m sure there’s not many that would allow that.

George Soros, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, John Kerry, Susan Rice, all enemies of the state. The cloak is starting to unravel. I just hope Jeff Sessions has the will to put these people behind bars. Gitmo would be a good place to start.
