LETTER: Biden, Democrats talk about ‘path to citizenship’

President Joe Biden and the Democrats are touting an immigration bill that includes a “path to citizenship.” I have heard this phrase used over the past couple of decades, and I have a problem with it. America has a path to citizenship already. This path has been trod by millions of honest, hard-working immigrants. Millions. They came to this country also looking for a better life. They followed the rules, became citizens and contributed to the greatness of America.

Suddenly, this well-worn path isn’t good enough. Those in the modern Democrat party demand a shortcut. The legal path we have is not always easy, so they demand we do away with it.

This is pandering to people they hope to have as new voters, ignoring many American citizens. If you want to tweak the path we have, fine, but do not claim there is not one in place now.

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
