Sept. 27, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: Upon reflection of the recent CNN interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, I would have loved to ask this presidential candidate one question: “How many undocumented illegal immigrants should be allowed into our country?”
It is being reported that a very conservative estimate of 11 million have crossed our “secure” southern border during the Biden-Harris administration. So exactly how many is enough to overwhelm our hospital emergency rooms and birthing rooms and classrooms from 160 nations? How many is enough to occupy our hotels and shelters and community centers as emergency housing? How many more unaccompanied children and innocent women should be subjected to sex slavery? How many more unvetted illegals at 30,000 a month should be flown into our country by the CHNV government parole program and dropped into a community like ours? How many criminal acts by foreign-born gangs and fentanyl deaths are enough?
This is not about a lack of compassion. My compassionate heart joyfully welcomes legal internationals into my home, church, neighborhood and nation, but our lack of operational control over our southern border is both frightening and criminal. Only one candidate running for president will stop this insanity and that is Donald J. Trump. JUDY VAUGHT Rockbridge County
