We can like or dislike our second time President Donald J. Trump. But we better, we all better, listen and pay attention to everything he says, because he’s changing the ways we are living our lives, most dramatically changing the way he’s dealing with our immigration crisis. President Trump is dispatching federal agents, mostly armed agents, who are now tracking down and arresting our neighborhood immigrants who have struggled their way to our sanctuary city and suburbs without passing through the difficult process of being officially and legally accepted as immigrants. It is scary news to read, and worse, watching it on television.

A tough guy police enforcer and extremist political commentator Tom Homan has been appointed by the president to assist the US Department of Justice in arresting immigrants. He’s describing himself as the American border czar, protecting America during an emergency. But he seems to me to be sounding and behaving like he’s an emergency.
