Sanity vs. humanity

Regarding the current ongoing Central American illegal immigration: My response has nothing to do with humanitarianism, it has to do with sanity.

The nation is under siege. The economy is struggling, despite the optimistic picture portrayed in a recent letter to the editor. Our public institutions are underfunded.

The infrastructure needs repair and the government continues to assume more debt and taking the risk of going bankrupt in the process. How can we assume the responsibility of giving these thousands of illegals an education, as well as providing them with health care? Who is concerned about our citizens and their children? There are children in the U.S. going to bed hungry, and here we are taking on another country’s responsibility. What are we thinking?

Since this illegal immigration of children has been going on since 2011, why weren’t we citizens informed of this activity long before now? Was it because the number of illegals crossing the border weren’t in great enough numbers to cause concern, or was it kept under cover to keep us quiet?

Does one really believe that the Democrats are the humanitarians they profess to be? The administration is catering to La Raza and the Mexican vote to ensure continued power for the Democratic Party and their march to socialism and thrashing the Constitution in the process. Wake up America!

Both parties in power have been derelict in their duties to uphold the Constitution and the laws of our country. Shame on them.

According to estimates, the government’s plan is to reunite these illegal children with illegals already in this country — presumably relatives — with no questions asked as to their legal status. So now, we have illegals being reunited with illegals already established in our country.

What are we thinking?
