To the editor:
There is a saying, “You can’t see the forest for the trees.” The trees around you are so tall, you can’t tell you’re standing in a large forest.
America’s political parties are currently in a political gold rush to gerrymander (change congressional district electoral boundaries) in as many of the 50 states as possible. Those state efforts are the trees that occupy our attention.
However, because of these trees around us we are unable to see the larger forest, the biggest gerrymander of all.
That, folks, is Homeland Security’s yearly mass deportation out of the country of anywhere from 500,000 to a million brown-skin, Democrat-leaning Catholics from south of the border. Republicans don’t want them to ever get anywhere near the voting booth in America.

This short essay is a contradiction. You are critical of Homeland Security deporting illegal immigrants from America to their native country. Illegals who have entered the US illegally are in violation of immigration law. Illegals cannot vote in federal elections; it’s in the Constitution. So why would Republicans fear illegals in close proximity to voting booths in America? You make no sense.
