Your Sunday editorial headline reads: “Immigration reform chance must be seized.”
I say your editorial should have been about: If the federal government enforced its own laws over the past 20 years, we would not have the problem today of needing any “immigration reform.”
Our country is facing a cost of several trillion dollars, according to some in the know, to support the 12 million (growing to 50 million) illegal immigrants that will be on our backs if the administration and Congress get their way. Their way, not the way of the American taxpayers, who will pay the costs for a long, long time to come.
One way to get “junk law” passed through Congress is to put so much “junk” in the written portion of the law that no member can or will read it all before he/she votes on it. Our current, contemptuous Congress will do just that and never give the American taxpayers, their employers, a chance to be heard.
It doesn’t take 1,000 pages to say: “Go home until we invite you back,” unless you plan to pay off someone who will provide you with re-election campaign funds.
If The Herald and your fellows in the “media” had what is going on in Congress as your front page stories, daily, rather than what you’ve put on it recently, we might not be in the national predicament that we currently are. Sunday’s front page told us about things that should be on the Art &Entertainment front page, or A2 at best.
If you ever wonder why the media is suffering from a decline in subscribers, you might take a moment to analyze your product, as it related to telling us what happened on TV against what will be happening in our country for years to come.
