Spoiled Sanctuary: The Melting Pot Boils Over

Michael Goodwin’s description of the millions of migrants journeying into our country is a far cry from my family’s journey 75 years ago (“Asylum policy is just that: insane,” April 10).

Back then there were no free debit cards, and barely any smiles from the admitting personnel. None of that mattered, because my family had arrived in America: the great country where we could be free and live life.

We learned the language, we loved our schools and my parents worked very hard to achieve the American dream of owning a home and educating their children. We respected authority and always voted in elections.

Fortunately, both of my parents passed away before they could see how the current immigration crisis is destroying the fabric of our country.

Another day, another example of failed Democratic policies. I wonder if our legislative geniuses ever experience remorse over their systematic failures.

Undocumented migrants are blatantly breaking the law. Forget feeling remorse: Our leaders should be embarrassed. The kick in the teeth is that they get paid for their ineptitude.

Michael Goodwin has aptly named the new reality show I am watching: It’s called “Crime Without Punishment.”

It features a grand city now pulled down to a crime level not witnessed in decades. It has a vibrant mayor who feels crime does pay and a “sanctuary city” policy that allows the crazies to run the asylum. Until New Yorkers vote to elect competent politicians into office, the lawlessness will only continue. I guess that will make for great viewership numbers, though.

Parents used to look forward to a better life for their children in America. Now they just hope that America will survive.
