Re: “Immigration crisis has bipartisan solution — Proposed bill will deliver reforms U.S. has needed for long time,” by John Cornyn, Sunday Opinion.
My one objection with Cornyn is that he makes the crisis seem as though it was caused by President Joe Biden, which doesn’t sound too bipartisan to me. This crisis has been going on for years through many presidents. My solution is if there are 11 million jobs available today and there is a 3.5% unemployment rate and there are 2.5 million migrants looking for work, then set up an employment agency in all of the border cities. Each migrant would fill out an application stating his education, training and experience in a vocation. Also, what type of work he/she is looking for.
The fact that 24 Texas Republican House members failed to protect our electoral process should send shivers down the spines of their constituents. By voting against shoring up the system, these elected representatives are sending a clear message — we are prepared to devalue democracy if it serves our political interests.
I’m old enough to remember when the Democrats ran Texas. There came a point when it was assumed they could elect a yellow dog as long as it was a Democrat. I think we have reached the other extreme with the Republicans in control. One thing’s for sure, my once reliable Republican vote is nowhere to be found.The name-calling and divisiveness has got to stop. Too often the norm has become calling any Democrat a socialist or a communist and any Republican a fascist.
