It is disturbing that on Feb. 28, 108 illegal immigrants who tested positive for covid-19 were released into our country by the Biden administration.

This irrational action occurred, after we, U.S. citizens, during the last year have been locked down for months at a time. Further, our government has spent trillions of our grandchildren’s future money as stimulus; pharmaceutical companies spent billions of dollars developing three vaccines.

Sadly, more than 500,000 fellow citizens lost their lives from covid-19 virus. Tragically, family members could not visit their dying relatives in hospitals and nursing homes.

For many of our young ones, this past year’s school experience has been dismal. Our kids need to be in school.

Thousands of small businesses have been devastated, many driven out of business permanently. The result — employees who made a living from these businesses, like restaurant and other service-industry workers, are now losing money for rent, houses and feeding their families.

Under the Trump administration, we had control of our borders. President Trump’s policy of making asylum- seekers wait in Mexico until they could have a court hearing was rational and sound.

Now our borders are in disarray. The Biden administration irresponsibly released illegals who are potential superspreaders all around our country — while implementing a nationwide mask mandate.
