Letter to the Editor: You’re welcome, Mr. Trump, it’s on us
At the Right Thinkers meeting on June 16, Ginger Schroder stated that every Democrat she’s talked to is totally in favor of massive amounts of illegal immigrants pouring into our country. I challenge her to broaden her circle of Democratic friends.
Most Democrats I talk to are in favor of immigrants entering our country through legal channels. However, this administration has currently removed all legal methods of entry. Even those who had appointments for entry were refused as their appointments were suddenly canceled.
The website for legal asylum seekers has been discontinued. Not all who seek entry are murderers, rapists and drug smugglers. We have our fair share of American criminals who flood to New York state due to our get-out-of-jail free policies.
Ms. Schroder also found it “shocking” at how the U.S. has been spending overseas. Many Democrats have been “shocked” at how much has been spent domestically. Mostly, I’m talking about the weekend golf trips that, so far, have been 37 out of President Donald Trump’s first 152 days at a reported cost to the taxpayers of $51.8 million.
You’re welcome, Mr. Trump, it’s on me.
And how about Trump’s birthday parade? That was between $40 million and $45 million. That is the same amount as 307 federal employees’ annual salaries and benefits. You’re welcome, Mr. Trump, that was on all of us. Most of us would be happy to celebrate our birthday with a cake with candles and maybe a dinner at Applebee’s.
If we’re looking to save money, we could set our vision a little closer to home. America First!
