Could be war
Re: “U.S. is not at war with immigrants,” Editorial, Nov. 5:
One of the definitions of war is “hostility or struggle.” This is not happening right now but could occur if one of the caravans decides it will invade the U.S. southern border en masse and try to overwhelm the Border Patrol and any military group at that point of entry, then disperse throughout the countryside.
And if they are successful, future caravans will take the same approach, and then it would be a war to defend our borders and this country’s sovereignty from these migrants. We would be at war with the migrants because they want what we have and they don’t want to go through the legal immigration process to get it.

This is the way our current legal system works, but this is surely not equal justice under the law. correctness. Some say she was fired for her comment, and that’s viewed as a travesty. Kelly was fired because her ratings were tanking. She will walk away with a healthy settlement and live to host another show.
One person’s accusation of political correctness is another’s racial and gender slur. What happened to common decency, human respect and consideration? What have we gained if that is lost? I would rather err on the side of political correctness.
