BORDER CRISIS: Following the party line

| October 30, 2024 1:00 AM

I quote here a portion of a recent letter on the subject of Border Crisis.

“Did these sycophants really think the people of Idaho were so poorly informed that they would miss their role in killing this bill?”

First of all, I question the writer’s use of the word ‘syncophants.’ It’s a dandy word but does not seem to fit in this context.

Secondly, as to being poorly informed, anyone remotely connected to the Democratic party has used this ploy ad nauseum while blithely ignoring what else was in the bill which would have continued the influx of illegal migrants while making many ill-conceived concessions to those who are already in our country illegally. Try being informed beyond what the party line dictates.

In addition, the writer cast aspersions on several of our legislators while, at the same time, probably ignoring what they have also informed as I mentioned above. I follow several of our legislators and have been pleased with their positions.
