The election is over, but the insanity from many Democrats is reaching a fever pitch.

I am not a fan of Mr. Trump. After the 2016 election I said, “Not happy that Trump is president but damn glad Hillary is not.”

Same is true for this past election.

I do think most of Trump’s agenda is on the right track, however, so I must be a “semi-MAGA” or worse. Trump is well know for his nasty name-calling, but the Left has him beat.

A Finger Lakes Times writer took heated issue with a letter writer who said FLT columnists are Marxists. He is right to be upset but fails to mention the other side’s bellowing. If you disagree with their agenda you are a deplorable, a Fascist, a Neo-Nazi, a racist or garbage.

In high school I started reading Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and Marx. Quit both because I found them evil. Always wondered how so many of the educated elite of our country and other democracies could follow this insanity.

During my working years I did technical training seminars with people from many countries including then-Communist Poland, the USSR and China. Except for Poland the interpreters referred to their countries as “Socialist.”

The Poles hated two things — Russians and their own government. I got to know and like a number of them from all three countries. That’s a long story, but I would like to debate Mr. Bobreski (Times columnist) on those issues.

One of the big problems Trump says he is going to fix is illegal immigration. Across the nation, Democratic governors and mayors are “Trump-proofing” their fiefdoms.

There are two types of immigrants — legal and illegal. Democrats never use the term illegal. To them they are undocumented workers, undocumented immigrants, new arrivals, asylum seekers and a new one by Tribune News columnist Schram, “legally undocumented immigrants.”

How can someone be legally undocumented?

He says it would cost at least $315 billion to deport them. NYC has spent $8.5 billion with more to come to care for illegals. How much has it cost nationwide so far?

Yes, most illegals are good folks seeking a better life, but with all those people comes a certain criminal element. Never mind statistics that tell us how many illegals are in jail, on trial, out on bail or have committed crimes here and in their home countries. Federal law says it’s a crime to enter the U.S. without proper documentation. Technically all illegals are criminals.

If a private citizen harbored a criminal who committed another crime they would be found equally guilty. So wouldn’t a governor, mayor or other official who gives sanctuary also be guilty ?

New Jersey Gov. Murphy says he will “fight to the death against the administration if he detects behavior contrary to our values.”

What values? Whose death? His, Trump’s or an another illegal’s murder victim ?

NYS Sen. Kruger is proposing New York and other blue states become provinces of Canada. Yes, she is just having an anti-Trump tantrum. A typical fantasy from the Albany Duma looney bin. Why would Canada want a state where 630,000 citizens have escaped in the last four years replaced by 672,000 illegals along with a $13.9 million deficit and widespread crime?

The best case for NY would be for her along with AG James, DA Bragg and like-minded people to migrate to any country dumb enough to take them.

Supporters of illegals are saying to legal immigrants who went through the long process of becoming citizens, “What fools you are. Come here illegally and get some ‘free’ benefits.”

Trump’s first action should be to stop illegal immigration at the border.

Finish building the wall. This can be a problem because Biden is selling the wall steel for scrap, cheating the taxpayers out of millions of dollars. Although the sale of this material is required by law and some of it given to a few border states, it still smells like another way to thwart a Trump agenda.

Trump should deport all the illegals that are criminals, then consider the status of non-criminal illegals. Many of them could stay as long they go through the long process of becoming citizens or voluntarily return home.

Richard Blakesley went to Gorham High School and then RIT. He was a machinist, a draftsman, and an engineer for a number of companies, including Wright Hibbard in Phelps, Gleason Works in Rochester, and Vesta Works Inc., a Canadian/Polish engineering firm. He enjoys genealogy and car shows. He is married, lives in Bloomfield, and has four children, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
