A guest worker program is needed, so we can fill job vacancies when we have them, like now, but reduce incoming workers when extra workers are not needed. Do this in an organized way could put the coyotes out of business. Updated immigration legislation is overdue.

Approximately 80% of USA population cares very much about gun violence. GOP continually refuses to discuss effective legislation. Congress, get it done.

Reverse the tax cuts the pumpkin headed grifter created. Problem solved.

Recent reporting in The Atlantic states that part of the appeal of the AR 15 is that it has become the man's Barbie doll, because it has accessories. Barbie has her dream house and the pink convertible, well, the AR 15 has some fun accessories too. This is the thing that we are sacrificing children to. In addition, Sandy Hook families shared research that was used in their successful civil case that bankrupted the gun manufacturer that made the AR that slaughtered their children. Their research shows that the AR 15 was an unpopular gun with very low sales until the gun industry shifted to an irresponsible advertising strategy targeting underage males, calling the AR 15 "your man card". In that light, not so surprising that most mass shooters are young males who are troubled. This is the monstrosity that we are sacrificing children to. The AR 15 is not a hunting rifle, because it is too destructive and leaves no useable meat. Enough. No new sales of AR 15, mandated gun safes to keep old AR 15 away from children, thieves, and the public. Find another Barbie doll to play with.

@gregoryfuzi4745 Why does your comment have to sound like a threat. Not cool. Why is a confident woman who knows how to handle herself in her city something that almost angers you? Not cool. I more than empathize with how hard it is lately because of obscenely overpriced rents. Please be safe. But you should not be wishing me harm. Calm down and be nice so that karma can help you.

I have lived in dangerous neighborhoods; I have never owned a gun and I never will. Often the gun ends up being a danger to the owner. The best crime prevention tool is your brain; ask any cop about that. I use my brains as often as possible. A good dog, good neighbors, also super terrific! Be a smart neighbor today! If you want to get a permit for a handgun for your home or your RV, great. Doesn't work for me, but get training, get a gun safe, do the right thing. Not open carry, not without permits, because it's just not safe for anyone. But an AR 15? Why? Are you shipping out to Vietnam, because that's what that thing was intended for. Get a gun if you must (not an arsenal) but AR 15 is not that gun. Be safe, everyone! No new sales of AR 15. Honor Uvalde with legislation! 🗽🦋🗽

Be safe. Try to volunteer with the organization that operates the community kitchen? I bet they are very positive people who might shift your focus away from the more dangerous aspects of your town? The good thing about a "dangerous" neighborhood is that super annoying rich people and tourists stay away. Nice to get some rich people to donate from a distance to help the community kitchen grow, but... I wouldn't be surprised if there is a community garden somewhere in that town. The store owners who have been in the town for 40 years. I bet there is someone on the staff of the nearest public library who is super nice and intelligent and enjoys self educated people who want book suggestions. Working class people are really awesome, and their towns tend to have hidden treasures. Enjoy the exploration! It might turn out better than you think. 🦋🐝🦋

It would collapse the international economy, and might displace the dollar as the international currency. Will China try to step into that vacuum? How will our allies feel about our irresponsibility sending their economies into recession or worse. 1929 all over again, do you really want risk that?
