To the Editor:
Samuel Clemens said or wrote; “First, imagine you are an idiot. Now, imagine you are a congressman. I’m sorry, I’ve repeated myself.” (There are other versions of this quote but the essence is the same) According to the English Oxford dictionary, an idiot is a stupid person. Stupid is having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Common sense is the ability to think about things in a practical way and make sensible decisions. Thinking is using one’s mind actively to form connected ideas. I’m sorry, I digress. Mark Twain’s quote is a perfect description of our current congresswomen and men. Only idiot congressmen would stand idle and watch what’s happening on our southern border. All of you, change our immigration laws, immediately. Disgraceful idiocy!
