His words. My thoughts. If it’s possible to secure the border, why not? One of the core responsibilities of government is law and order, and protecting and controlling borders is a basic duty. A real wall might even alleviate some of the hostility to Hispanic immigrants, by removing the stigma of illegality. Yes, I’m also [...]
No, I do not intend to start using Spanish in the titles of all my posts, but I wanted to make an additional comment in regards to my early post about English as our national language. A blog called Right on the Right, quoted my passage about all the Spanish I see here in San [...]
