Why are our elected officials conspiring with lawbreakers?
Do you think the relatives or offspring of Hiroshima victims appreciate World War II monuments?
How about Vietnamese people and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial?
What were these insensitive politicians thinking?
All streets should be renamed either letters or numbers or some combination of the two. I would love to live on AA11BB22. I have heard, however, that some people find numbers offensive. — Larry Byrne,

Regarding the headline of the June 7 article “Activists turn wary of Phoenix ID cards,” the revelation is jaw-dropping.
Supporters of the ID card clearly flipflopped from support to rejection of this concept. The primary purpose of these cards, according to an “immigrant rights activist” was to provide a form of “legitimization” to those residing in this city illegally.
Now that same activist wants guarantees from the city that the data-base generated by card subscribers will never be revealed to law enforcement for fear of deportation.
Elected city officials teaming up with those so openly conspiring to evade the laws of the land is beyond comprehension!
Attempts have been made on the state legislative level to introduce bills that would end this form of immigration-law evasion.
Thus far, these measures have failed in the state Senate. Republican Sens. Kate Brophy McGee, John Worsley and Frank Pratt have consistently voted with Democrats to kill these bills.
Something smells very fishy when elected officials are in bed with those whose purpose it is to evade our laws. — Vince Ansel,

America is becoming more like North Korea under Donald Trump
Anyone else totally creeped out by the praise-a-thon orchestrated for the cameras by Donald Trump at the beginning of his cabinet meeting on Monday?
This was a “Dear Leader” moment that perfectly captured how insecure, ego-centric, delusional and completely unfit Trump is for office.
