To the editor:
The May 8 letter from Mr. Kelstrom makes me wonder if he failed history, debate and other subjects while being educated, presumably here in the USA.
The case in point is his diatribe toward Jim Dyment. I point out the invective, or vituperative, language used in the scathing remarks about Mr. Dyment that are very mean-spirited, to say the least.
I know Mr. Kelstrom has ignored the oath a president takes to defend and protect our borders from all enemies. The current and previous administrations have failed to uphold that oath, resulting in the influx of illegals, drug-cartel activity, etc.
With the illegals being used to transport drugs into the country (under armed guard by Mexican nationals) it is obvious the problem is not immigration reform; it is failure to enforce federal laws on the books that would close our borders to the undesirable trafficking of drugs and humans.
Why is the Obama administration anxious to enact “immigration reform”? The result would be amnesty, not reform. What an easy way to buy 12 million to 20 million votes. Shades of Tammany Hall. All opposition to this drive by Obama is centered around first securing the borders before immigration reform is even considered. Is that an unreasonable requirement?
The current leadership is bent on causing dissension among the various ethnic groups. By pitting one against another, the internal strife distracts attention from scurrilous activity within the halls of Congress. This allows any form of mischief to go unnoticed until it is too late to stop. A study of the Bolshevik revolution will show similarities to current events happening within our own government.
History is repeating itself, Mr. Kelstrom.
Mr. Kelstrom, I ask you, should we take your letters seriously? Do you stand in front of a mirror and read your own letters, before you send them to the South Whidbey Record? Be careful who you accuse of ranting; when pointing a finger at another, there are always three pointing back at yourself.
The recent law signed by the governor of Arizona is worded practically verbatim from the federal laws enacted by Congress. Hopefully, there are other states that will take the same measure for our protection.
