Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Immigration

I keep hearing people suggest that we are removing illegal immigrants who haven’t broken the law. Well, illegal immigration is, by itself, breaking the law. So I don’t understand why whether or not they’ve broken additional laws should matter.

Just a guess

President Trump’s excursion into Nigeria to “attack ISIS” certainly has nothing to do with Nigeria’s abundant oil, some 37 billion barrels in reserve, and rare earth minerals.

Nigeria

President Trump has ordered the killing of Muslims in Nigeria, intervening on the side of Christians in this regional conflict. About 1,000 years ago, four different Crusades were launched by the Christians, who invaded Muslim areas on the European continent. Many thousands were slaughtered in the name of Christianity. Now, and as it was then, the reason the same: My God is the one true God and you are an infidel because you worship a different God. Undboutbably, this new Crusade will be one-sided, as American bombs are dropped on Muslims. How many human beings will die in the name of our God?

Haters

I see the holiday season was wasted on liberals. They are as consumed by hatred as ever.

Fraud pardons

According to a Washington Post headline, “Trump’s pardons wipe out payments to defrauded victims”. It’s time to eliminate the pardoning ability for any president, Republican or Democratic.

Trump speech

Instead of focusing on accomplishments, I suggest the president should focus on apologizing for derogatory comments such as a lack of diplomacy with our Canadian neighbors.

It’s OK

It’s rather amazing how much hard-core supporters of both parties are willing to put up with in the pursuit of winning.
