HINSDALE, N.H.-The author is appalled that the United States is stopping drugs from coming here via speedboat, and that the Vermont Air National Guard has been ordered to serve.
Please list for me an "unlawful" order that has been issued by our president.
Protecting U.S. citizens is a crucial function of our government. The cost of drugs entering our country and the havoc they wreak here far outweighs the cost of a military response.
If anyone objects to immigration laws, then seek to change them. Otherwise, ICE is doing its job, not unlike the ATF or the IRS.
