Letter to the Editor: What has happened to the country I love?

What has happened to the country I love?

American used to be a country of laws. If there was a law that the citizens did not agree with they worked to change the law. Now we have gone in another direction. If some people do not like the laws set up by our Congress they either ignore the laws they do not like or ask the Court system to arbitrarily strike down the law. We have Immigration Laws that no longer work. We have asked Congress to address this problem and they have refused to do so. We currently have over ONE MILLION ILLEGAL INVADERS in our country that have had their day in court and have been ordered removed from the country.

The Democrats in Congress have a problem with this and are doing everything in their power to stop these arrests and deportations. Why? They say it is not fair? They made the law! Now they are encouraging illegals to break the law again. What has happened to the country I love? The Democrats have stated they want no one who enters our country illegally should be arrested. What has happened to the country I love? We have states that are ordering their cities to break the law by not notifying the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they have an illegal in custody. What has happened to the country I love?  Democrat members of Congress are going into Mexico to escort foreign nationals across the border illegally. What has happened to the country I love? California is now paying for healthcare for ANY ILLEGALS coming across the border while at the same time they cannot house and care for their own citizens. What has happened to the country I love?

We currently have between 12 million to 30 million illegals living in our country that we do not know about. Imagine have a group of people living in your basement and not knowing how many there are? The President has taken steps to find out how many Citizens, legal immigrants and illegal invaders are in our country. Again the Congress is having a problem with this because they do not us to know. The Democrats have been fighting Voter I.D. Laws for the past thirty years. They say it is unfair to minorities. Yet they go on and on about how Russia interfered in our elections.  It would seem that having a possible 12 to 30 million illegal votes by non-citizens would be a real concern to all Americans. What has happened to the country I love?

I Know many of my fellow citizens will disagree with some of with all that I have written and that is fine because that also is something I love about our country.
