BORDER: Keep it closed

| August 3, 2025 1:00 AM

The short definition of stupid is “not sensible or intelligent.” As I write this letter, I’ve frequently used the word “stupid.” So much has happened in the last 6 months of the Trump presidency that my head is spinning. I can only imagine what it’s doing to those who vehemently hate him! Hatred and opposition against ICE are unreal. Keep in mind there’d be no illegal immigrants, no sanctuary states and absolutely no need for ICE if Biden had closed the border as Trump has done. But now it’s all a tragic mess, with murderers, rapists, cartels, drug dealers, human traffickers in here, running amok. Those murdered by illegals would still be alive.

Fentanyl alone takes the lives of nearly 100,000 of our young people per year! Up to 20 million illegals are with us and Biden treated them like royalty. Would “stupid” describe this man?! It appears that Democrats/socialists love illegals, sanctuary cities and states. Is crime and loss of sovereignty even a concern for them? Nope. Stupidity, yep! Violence and protests against ICE have escalated across our nation. Sadly, Coeur d’Alene recently had an anti-ICE protest along U.S. 95. Why is it so hard for Democrats/socialists to understand the meaning of the word “illegal?”

Also, it’s amazing to me that illegals came unvetted into America but to send them back, there needs to be due process of the rule of law — sounds stupid to me! I shudder to think of a Kamala presidency — our borders would still be wide open, and our beloved nation lost forever. A joyful enthusiasm is racing across America and throughout the world. Trump and common sense are back!
