To the editor:

There is no such thing as a law-abiding illegal alien. If you sneak into America, you break the law — period.

I’m going to confound many Democrats: Define a man. It’s amazing how many liberals who can’t define a woman are suddenly experts on fishing boats and the economy. Liberals claim Robert Kennedy is anti-science, yet there are some liberals who tell us men can have babies.

It seems like President Donald Trump holds more press conferences in one week than Joe Biden had in four years.

As of the 2025 Center for Immigration Studies report, 54 percent of Somali families in Minnesota are on food stamps, 73 percent have at least one member on Medicare, 50 percent living in the U.S. 10 years or more don’t speak English, 39 percent of those who are working age don’t have high school diplomas and 89 percent of households with children are on some type of welfare.

Ever notice how Democrats never post or say anything pro-Democrat?

It’s always anti-Trump. With all the problems and messes Biden left us, Democrats now complain that Republicans aren’t cleaning them up fast enough. They moan inflation, now 2.6 percent, is too high, but think 9.4 percent under Biden was OK. Biden’s policies caused much suffering for America and Americans. Now, Democrats claim they can fix it. Like they did under Biden? If you stop giving illegals welfare, they will self-deport.

We shouldn’t kowtow to their cultures; they’re supposed to assimilate into ours. Democrats voted to fine Americans for not buying Obamacare, then conspired to give it free to illegal aliens.

In the Dec. 14 edition, Christopher Gibbs stated, “The Democrat Party is big enough for a moderate like me.” Mr. Gibbs, your party cannot define what a woman is, believes in abortion on demand, believes ICE should not enforce immigration laws and does not support deporting illegal alien criminals.

Does Gibbs believe Biden was cognitively impaired when he authorized thousands of pardons and executive orders issued with the autopen? The Heritage Foundation oversight project reports that up to 92 percent were. If one believes in any of the above, one is not a moderate Democrat. Gibbs states the rural caucus is dedicated to the interests of veterans, women, Black Americans and other groups. Do these other groups include white males, traditional family values, Jewish or Christian beliefs, or females that stand against males in women’s sports? If not, then one is not a moderate.

Democrat leaders in Illinois say we live on stolen land — I thought liberals believed in open borders. Russia will never attack America as long as there are Democrats.

Thank you, President Trump, for giving our military members a $1,776 Christmas bonus.

Locally, gas is $2.65 a gallon. The predicted GDP for last quarter was 3.4 percent, and it came in at 4.4 percent. It looks like 2026 is going to be a great year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to my Christian and Jewish friends. All the rest, good luck.
