You will be missed. Thanks for what you have done at this site. Tuck is right. The Republicans in the senate should be ashamed. People can agree that something needs to be done about the large numbers of illegal aliens crossing the southern border. They can accept that a plan to limit things to 4,999 arrivals a day falls a little short of being a meaningful solution. That does not justify endangering NATO and the victory we won over the Soviets that ended the cold war, liberated east central Europe, and dismembered the Soviet Union. Anyone who served this country in or out of the armed forces in achieving that victory should be insulted, worried, and angry. So should those of us who only supported the effort as private citizens. So should people of any age who are paying attention and care about the state of the world. As of now enough Republicans showed enough good sense to join with the Democrats except Sanders and move toward starting to getting a bill passed. That is good but does not excuse those who voted no. Immediate wartime needs should be treated as immediate wartime needs while working on the border as the separate issue it is. Besides doing so would give senators of both parties a chance to show, against the way many people would bet, that they can walk and chew gum at the same time.
