Below is a reply I received from one of my two liberal Senators on my communication regarding immigration. Interspersed among her points, I shall comment with my thoughts (italicized) about what she says: [Note: the pasting by me of her letter's formatting as I received it reveals that the office aide who composed this response used parts from differently formatted boiler-plate sources.]

Dear Mr.
Higley:
Thank
you
for
writing
to
me
in
regard
to
the
United
States
immigration
system.
It
is
good
to
hear
from
you
about
this
very
important
issue.
Well, at least she's trained her office aide to start out politely and try to soften me up with cordialitites for starters.
For
many
years,
Congress
and
the
American
people
have
engaged
in
spirited
debate
about
reforming
our
nation’s
immigration
laws.
It
is
clear
that
our
immigration
system
is
broken
and
that
fixing
this
system
is
critical
for
families,
communities,
and
businesses
in
Washington
state
and
across
the
nation.
No... really? And who has been responsible for breaking it? (Hint: Go look in the mirror, along with all the other elected representatives who've made Congress a career, in both parties! Remember 1986and the broken promises from that amnesty bill?) The second half of the second sentence in this paragraph is where she begins to show her true ideological colors regarding this issue. Critical for who, those you've allowed to enter our nation illegally, some who've murdered, raped, or gotten our men, women and children addicted to drugs, sold into the human trafficking industry, etc.?
President
Trump
issued
a
series
of
executive
orders
that
ban
travel
from
several
majority-Muslim
countries,
call
for
a
deportation
force,
and
attempt
to
cut
off
funding
to
so-called
sanctuary
cities
and
counties
that
prioritize
the
safety
of
their
citizens
over
local
immigration
enforcement.
Instead
of
working
to
bring
Americans
together
to
unite
behind
commonsense
reforms,
he
continues
to
create
chaos
and
confusion
for
immigrant
families
in
the
United
States,
refugees,
and
travelers.
I
am
deeply
disappointed,
but
not
surprised,
to
see
President
Trump
turn
his
divisive
campaign
rhetoric
into
actions.
To
undo
the
harm
President
Trump
has
caused,
I
have
cosponsored
legislation
to
rescind
these
executive
orders
and
I
have
called
on
President
Trump
to
abandon
this
misguided
approach.
Oh boy, here come the real "zingers" in this paragraph. The gloves are off now! Pres. Trump's the one who has created the chaos and confusion? Oh... those poor innocent illegals who have made our communities less safe. According to her it's Trump's fault that they're being threatened with the possibility of deportation. Has she even checked what Mexico's own immigration laws and enforcement are? Obviously not! But, she is the savior of the oppressed, the social justice warrior who will come to the defense of the oppressed that are facing harm from Trump!
In
order
to
fix
our
broken
immigration
system,
I
have
long
supported
comprehensive
immigration
reform
that
protects
families,
strengthens
our
economy,
enhances
our
security,
and
reflects
our
core
values
as
Americans.
As
a
United
States
Senator
I
have
supported
laws
to
protect
DREAMers
—undocumented
immigrants
who
were
brought
to
the
U.S.
as
children,
earned
a
diploma
or
served
in
our
military,
and
have
followed
the
law.
In
addition
I
have
worked
to
create
pathways
to
citizenship,
reduce
the
use
of
detention,
keep
families
together,
improve
the
visa
system,
and
eliminate
the
immigration
court’s
backlog.
Comprehensive
immigration
reform
is
good
for
our
businesses,
our
workers,
and
our
economy,
which
is
why
we
need
immigration
policies
that
both
protect
workers
and
provides
employers
certainty
in
a
system
that
has
often
left
them
without
answers.
Senator... I don't care how much you've worked as a Senator over your nearly 35 year career as a politician, they're STILL ILLEGAL!!! Let's just be honest about this. What you and your party are counting on is a voter base to replace those American citizen who are now leaving the Democrat Party in droves because the truth that everyone knows is that your party has moved from being against minorities having equal opportunities in the days of Jim Crow and the K.K.K. - what most youth today don't realize is the hidden truth of the past - to the party which has promoted welfare to the minorities in order to keep them on the "government plantation" and dependent and ignorant.
I
will
continue
to
call
for
comprehensive
immigration
reform
that
measures
up
to
our
long-held
American
values,
ensures
that
while
we
are
being
tough
on
those
who
are
a
threat
to
our
public
safety
or
national
security,
we
are
enforcing
our
immigration
laws
in
a
smart,
humane
way
for
millions
of
undocumented
immigrants.
I
will
fight
for
as
long
as
it
takes.
It
is
inspiring
to
know
that
so
many
people
in
Washington
state
and
across
the
country
refuse
to
remain
silent.
We
must
recommit
ourselves
to
working
as
hard
as
we
can
to
move
our
country
forward
and
continue
to
speak
up
when
our
values
are
threatened. I
will
continue
to
work
to
fix
our
broken
immigration
system.
Oh... now she's gettin' all patriotic and acting like she's
keeping her constituents safe from all those bad folk. If her definition of "enforcing our immigration laws in a smart, humane way for millions of undocumented [a.k.a. illegal] immigrants" is to ignore federal law by maintaining sanctuary cities - like Seattle - then, as far as I'm concerned, she's qualified for sittin' in prison for treason! And, just who's "values" is she talking about here? Not my values, that's for sure! She'll continue working to fix the broken immigration system until it achieves what her party's ultimate goal is... to infiltrate this nation to the point of taking it over so they have totalitarian control.
Again,
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
share
your
thoughts
with
me,
please
know
that
I
will
keep
your
thoughts
in
mind.
If
you
would
like
to
know
more
about
my
work
in
the
Senate,
please
feel
free
to
sing
up
