American Consequences - July 2019

FROM OUR INBOX

promote more humane treatment of animals in the state of Colorado. Makes me want to be either an illegal immigrant on the lam in downtown Denver, or a junkyard dog. Either way, I’d have more rights. Thank goodness for our president’s persistence and strength, despite constant harassment and redundant investigations. If it weren’t for President Trump nothing would get done in Washington and ISIS would still be making their vicious viral videos of chopped off infidel heads. In short, just build the wall – with lots of lights and sirens. The whiz bang technology add-ons can come later. – Virginia L. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Virginia, you make a number of good points. But, then, so do Calvin and Victoria below. Let them all in. they are just trying to survive. – Calvin S. I’m concerned about the way we are treating asylum seekers. I am freaked out about the stories coming out about the housing of children. What have we become? When did we become so hateful, resentful and downright mean? It is not against the law to seek asylum here. I just don’t knowwhat to do about it. Seeing those cages with children in them is making me sick... – Victoria F. P.J.

The situation is a travesty, a crime, an insult, an untold expense and total bastardization of American values, culture and identity. What’s just as appalling is that it’s an easy fix.
