Gone, Just Like That!

Dear Editor:

It’s funny how our government works. Most U.S. Senators have good intentions to do the right thing for the people until a controversial issue like this immigration bill arises, then the wheeling and dealing begins and all the good intentions go right out the political window. Suddenly deaf ears are turned against the people. Right or wrong bears no weight as the voice of the people gets dimmer and dimmer, and the loudest Senators’ voices take over, reminding the meek that it’s big business they owe their allegiance to, and it’s special interest groups who will get them the voters they need as soon as these illegal immigrants become citizens. Some Senators hesitate with a bit of conscience, until they’re dragged into a corner and coerced, “if you vote on this immigration bill for me, I’ll vote with you on that bill you want.â€
