Soapbox Sunday

There are all sorts of crazy things happening in the United States right now. This is to be expected when a clown leads the circus. I hope that, somewhere down the line, the people who wanted this new reality see the carnage. It’s George Orwell and Kurt Vonnegut stuff.

I will continue to protest this corrupt government. Lawmakers in Congress need to wake up and stop drinking the Kool-Aid, find wherever it was they left their balls and fight the good fight for the people they are supposed to represent (All the People).

Who are we?

If we’re not indigenous, then we come from immigrants. I don’t care if you were born in Hackensack, NJ. Our families are from elsewhere, and they came here for similar reasons. Is this not the land of opportunity?

Please spare me the lectures about getting rid of people who live in a country simply because they are undocumented. They are (by and large) hard-working folks who are trying to support their families. Many are being underpaid and “stealing” work no one wants to do for barely minimum wage.

Let them work. Give them a realistic path to citizenship. Don’t make them a political pawn. And leave them alone already.
