Enforcement broken
Trae West,
During the immigration debate, we frequently hear the statement: “We need to fix our immigration policy; it is broken.”
For me, the only thing broken is the lack of enforcement. The federal government has been absent for political purposes.
There is nothing wrong with immigrants coming to America; what is wrong is when it is done illegally. No one has the right to demand legal status when that person broke immigration laws to get here. Sometimes, the answer is too simple for the politicians to figure out. It is time to clean house.

Negotiations needed
Negotiations on sequester but on “Obamacare“? Both are the “law of the land.”

Kids figured it out
My daughter was talking back to the news on the radio as she was driving her children home from school. She was expressing frustration at the political standoff in Washington with the debt ceiling, government shutdown and the general mess we are in.
Her 9-year-old son asked her what was going on. She must have done a pretty good job of explaining it because he said, with very firm disgust, “Mom, that’s a dity.”
When she asked him what a “dity” is, he replied: “It’s dumb and a pity with a hint of ridiculousness.”
The kids have it figured out; why can’t our great leaders?
