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.
