Trump would have been faulted for this

-

In a recent interview, Hillary Clinton had to correct the interviewe­r, who confused Cory Booker with Eric Holder. After making the correction, Clinton proceeded to crack a joke, saying, “I know they all look alike.”

It was obviously a joke, but if taken out of context, her bad joke could easily be used to

caravan of illegal immigrants into this country.

To begin with, we know nothing about them, and we call this behavior illegal immigratio­n — because it’s illegal. My heart goes out to all of the poor folks seeking better lives, but there’s a better way.

To the children known as dreamers or DACA recipients, I also send my heart to. The 14th Amendment does guarantee citizenshi­p to any person born or naturalize­d in America, which I think includes so-called anchor convey the idea that she is a racist. The mainstream media basically ignored this story, and that’s understand­able since there was nothing really newsworthy about it.

Now consider for a moment if President Trump had made the same bad joke, in the same situation and context as Clinton did. What do you think the mainstream media’s reaction would have been?

Would they ignore it, as they did with Clinton, or would every newspaper in the country run a

babies.

The child’s parents broke the law. It’s just common sense and the law, but we welcome anyone if they come legally.

front-page banner headline proclaimin­g that Trump is a racist, and every broadcast news program would have a bombshell story on the evening news, taking Trump’s comment out of context, to show that he is a racist?

If you agree that the latter is how the mainstream media would report such a scenario, then you understand the extreme bias of the mainstream media in our nation. Gary Stolz

they should put that money where it will really have a super positive impact, like public education, housing programs, health care, senior services, etc.

Better yet, add to this all the money from all the political advertisem­ents by all the candidates, and we could wipe out the national debt.
