What is the real crisis on our border?
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
This well-known welcome provides the foundation for what this great country was built upon. Did someone in Washington have this plaque on the Statue of Liberty taken down? Is the real crisis on the border our President Donald Trump?
Does it really take over two years for a tax audit? Where are your tax returns Mr. Trump?
Does a president really declare a state of emergency and then leave to go golfing? Give me a break.
Do our leaders in Washington fully understand that more Americans die in Chicago because of gun violence every 30 days than in the wars we currently are involved in?
Or, given the recent murders in Aurora ….
Do our leaders really care that yet another mass murder has occurred with five people dead and several others wounded included police officers?
