Thte Democratic playbook on immigration

As I watch the back-and-forth between the two major parties on immigration, I think I have pieced together just how far Democrats have progressed on the issue. I’ll try to articulate their position as best I can.

Sure they want border security, but just enough to prevent the really bad people from coming in. If the rest of you are coming merely for a better life — to share the American Dream, so to speak — then we welcome you with open arms and will protect you (i.e. sanctuary cities, social services, etc.).

Oh, by the way: If you ever get the opportunity to vote, remember we were your enablers and would appreciate your support (wink, wink).

THE LATEST
LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
