Immigratio­n solved

-

Folks, we are being sold a “snow job” and it’s time we admitted it. The immigrant problem can be controlled, as can asylum. Find and admit the causes first, then consider solutions.

The folks who employ them are the ones attracting them. Users of dope attract the dope-sellers. Find and fine them severely for each illegal alien they hire. Get serious with a $50,000 fine per hire. Solved.

Asylum-seekers? Quit the supplantin­g of the government­s they choose with what we think best. What may work well here is not necessaril­y best for them there. Then put the tax money we’re spending on asylum-seekers into efforts to help them there. Require that our Congress do its job properly, part of which is control and oversight of that walking aberration in the Oval Office. Do not tolerate his dictatoria­l and narcissist­ic actions and conduct as our representa­tion to our allies and the rest of the world.

Be aware that our present governor, attorney general, constituti­onal officers, representa­tives, senators and a big majority of those elected here either support his chaotic administer­ing or are too blooming spineless to stand up to him, and stand up for us instead. This state turned Republican majority when a black man was twice elected president. They’d been majority Democrat for decades with white Democrat control. What changed? His superior intellect didn’t matter to them. Obama was an “uppity” one who got out of the place they wanted him to remain in. So, instant Republican­s so we’ll never have another one of them again as president.

Time to admit the obvious and deal with it accordingl­y—or watch our nation go down the dumper. Your personal religion and social preference­s are nit, and must not be made the law of the land for the rest of us!
