This is my first blog. I am a frustrated political commentator who can no longer stand to sit by quietly while abhorrent political actions take place in my back yard.
The first topic I want to address is illegal immigration. I don't get it - some members of the general populace either don't remember their civics/history classes or they lack common decency. (Maybe both!) Anyway, now we have outcries all over the country, and especially loudly in Fremont, NE, that applaud racial profiling. I have never been happier to look Irish - my family won't have to worry about being asked to produce an identity card. Why do so many want to move our country to the days of Nazi Germany? And if you don't think that's what is happening, study the history of the actions taken against Jews and others and the gradual escalation of those actions during Nazi occupations.
We all need to take a step back and address, in a legal and civilized manner, those who employ undocumented workers. People don't swarm across our borders to be worse off - they come here because there are jobs available to them. Let's take care of that problem and probably a good 90% of the issue will evaporate.
By the way, I am a Nebraskan and currently a registered Republican. I will be changing my party affiliation to independent as a result of the boorish actions taken during our state Republican convention.
