Letter to the Editor:
I’ll try to be as apolitical as possible with this. In response to the “Performance Politics” editorial in your Oct. 2nd edition, there’s something important to be noted about the misconception that former president and candidate Donald Trump killed a very good piece of bipartisan immigration legislation. This has been repeated ad nauseum by Democrats during this campaign season. There were 3 (of 49) Republican senators who worked on, then withdrew their support for this, when they realized the law would have permanently allowed for the continuation of about 90% of what’s been going on at our southern border since January 2021. This included allowing up to 5,000 illegals to cross daily (1,825,000 annually). Hardly bipartisan, hardly Trump’s doing, and surely not good for our country.
