LETTER: Let’s target repeat immigration offenders

I haven’t seen one comment from those on either side of the political debate about the ineffectiveness of the current strategy of deporting illegals. I constantly read about illegals who have been deported more than once — and I saw one who had been deported 19 times. This is ludicrous and needs to be addressed soon.

A simple solution is that those who have been deported once and caught again in the country illegally should be subject to a mandatory five-year prison sentence. They could pick up trash, pick farm crops and do a lot of the jobs that are available to pay for their incarceration. If such work patrols are currently illegal, then change the law.

This would certainly be a deterrent to this open door policy. I suggest that it be instituted immediately. It would certainly ease the burden and frustration of border patrol officers who must be frustrated catching the same people over and over.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
