You sound so sensible.

I would like to think you are addressing me, but most people declare me "crazy".

Unfortunately, your party is controlled by Leftist Radicals who are not sensible at all.

"my" party is in the center. Yes, it's pretty lonely at the moment.

They encourage illegal immigrants and other people to physically attack and impede ICE officers.

The left may make a lot of noise, and the right may make a point of being brutal about it, to pander to it's base, but the "JCs" who hire the illegals provide the money to buy the policies they want.

If you mean what you say--you are in favor of a reasonable compromise to change the immigration laws--then you must first acknowledge your party's blatant breaking of the existing laws,

I have said many times, over the years, I have a fundamental problem with so-called "sanctuary" cities/counties/states, that ignore federal law. The fundamental point of a democratic system is the ability to work through the system to change laws. I have no problem with using the National Guard to help secure the border, either.

They will not.

My focus is getting things done, as it was all through my working life. Unfortunately, what we see in DC, is much like what I observed in the several places I worked: people more interested in kissing the boss' rear, and stabbing everyone else in the back, rather than getting anything done.
