Let Those Who Are Illegal & Living Here, Stay

I am of the mind that we just need to let those who have lived & worked in the United States while being illegally here, just stay.

Most likely they have become a functional part of our communities & have established roots with those of us who are citizens. They have married our sons & daughters, they have become parents to our grand kids & most likely are working a job that needs to get done.

A number of those who have come here, originally came because we (business owners & otherwise) needed them to help us with whatever needed to be done. Yes, some would say that they did work that we citizens could not or did not want to do. Some are here because we had no one who could do what they do. Business owners needed their help on many things.

A local outdoor mall here in the Kansas City metroplex was by & large built by those workers who were illegal. Once the mall was done, they fired them all.

Which takes me to the following point .... We used them for our own interests & it is simply not American or right for us to dump on them & force them to leave after having helped us. Forcing them to leave at this point after having given so much to this country is not what we should be about as a nation.

There are some bad ones & of course good ones ... pretty similar to our own citizens.

We should deal with the bad ones when we find out who they are by what they did & of course praise those who are good by what they do. It is not right to judge negatively every illegal by what a few bad ones did. Have we gone no farther than punishing the entire class at recess time because of the misdeeds of one???

It is a miscarriage of justice to say ... those that are here illegally have to leave BECAUSE they are ILLEGAL. It is immoral & unethical to punish them for simply .....

wanting to live, work, raise families & be happy here in the United States.

I'm not against a wall, but I am against putting those that are here (they are us & we are them by now) on the other side.

the NFL & Money (No right or wrong)

Here is my take ... It has been reported that Athletes participating in the league will most likely be susceptible to suffering from CTE and other lingering injuries playing the game. Do note, that many parents are becoming less likely to encourage their children (unless it is the only way out of their socioeconomic status) to play football because of those injuries. The NFL is not expected to stop playing the game because of this harm. Could it be they fear the loss of money and status? Recently, the NFL was shocked by the trend associated with “Colin Kaepernick”  protesting American political and social issues by refusing to honor the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Once again, money was and is the issue here. We have no idea of what the owners of the NFL are thinking because whatever they decided to do was to make sure fans continued to watch and attend football games. Revenue from ticket sales and television viewing is a pretty big deal. Recent relocations of several N

Our Current Political Leaders are a DISGRACE

This current batch of political leaders are most disingenuous ... thus, disgracing their elevated leadership status. Perhaps, referring to them as such is a little strong .... nevertheless, it may NOT be too far off the mark. If any of our elected leaders truly cared about a solution to the immigration problem, then at this very moment we would be talking about workable solutions instead of blaming each other for the lack thereof. The images we are being presented with regarding detention of children are simply put forth to elicit emotional outbursts as opposed to serving as a basis for generating solutions to the overall problem of illegal immigration and border security. Once again, the defenseless  (in this case the most helpless of all ... children) are getting hurt and are no more than political pawns. Hey!!! Washington ... these defenseless folks have families, breath, blood and emotions. Management types in business, will tell the minions ... that if we are not part of

Robert De Niro's "72nd Tony Awards" "F-bomb" Tirade

Pretty scary stuff ..... and I'm also a little shocked by the rousing applause to go along with it. The icing on the cake came with a comment by the playwright, "Tony Kushner" (backstage supporting and listening to Mr. De Niro) denouncing the Trump presidency by referring to it as "the Hitler mistake." Normally, the safest course of action when threatening behavior rears its ugly head is to move as far away as one can possibly get. At times it has been necessary for me to run in the opposite direction when faced with .... 1. Individuals in a state of rage (angry). 2. Those that exhibit racial hatred and/or hatred of any kind. 3. Unsavory locker room talk, and .... 4. Physical violence. In a free society, Mr De Niro has the right to express himself politically as he wishes. Perhaps that is the underlying message regarding the standing "O" ... not necessarily standing to support his opinion, but his right to have one and openly express it. LOL
