And, certainly not longer than my family, which arrived in the mid-1700s.

Regarding getting on some of the other forums, I find them so toxic with ranting, raving and personal insults, that I can't really sort out the issues which could be properly addressed.

Regarding immigration, my mantra is the same as that of DHS Secretary John Kelley (now WH Chief of Staff) "My job is to enforce the law as it is written. If you don't like the law, change it."

My priorities would be:

1. Seek out, arrest and deport gang members who are illegal aliens, with an emphasis on MS-13 members.

2. Apprehend, and turn around at the border, anyone attempting to enter our country illegally.

3. Take custody of any illegal alien convicted of a crime and process him for deportation, after completion of his jail sentence.

4. Cancel Obama's Executive Orders that ordered our law enforcement agencies not to enforce immigration laws.

5. Simply enforce existing immigration laws until they are changed by Congress.

6. Press for withholding of federal funds from any governmental entity that styles itself as a "sanctuary" from immigration process and refuses to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
