Editor, Times-Union:
Long ago, this country had one port of entry, Ellis Island. It was there that people trying to gain entry into the USA were processed. They were vetted for their country of origin, examined for their health and questioned for their purpose to become Americans. The vast majority of immigrants were from Europe although there were many from South America and Mexico. Opened in 1894, Ellis Island was considered the “Gateway to America.” Why then did the South Americans and Mexicans travel to New York to enter the USA? It was the only legal way to become an American citizen.
In 1921, President Warren Harding signed the “1921 Immigration Act” which limited the number of immigrants allowed into America, in an attempt to better assimilate the multitude of cultures which have entered this country, trying to meld them into a new, vibrant country of individuals called “Americans.” As we accepted immigrants of all nationalities through Ellis Island, the idea of assimilation had gone to the wayside. However, the feeling of being an American citizen came to the forefront when this nation was attacked. When those of many nationalists were so callously murdered at Pearl Harbor.
We now find ourselves a country without borders. Once again, the Democrats, in an attempt to control power, have opened the borders of our land to allow a flood of humanity into our country. The Democrats have allowed an invasion into our country, uncaring of the financial and criminal impact which will ultimately ensue. The Democrats have forsaken this country, they’ve been exposed for the charlatans they are.
Joe Biden signed off on 64 Executive Orders to reverse Donald Trump’s efforts, which had controlled the illegal entry of immigration into our country. Today, Joe Biden insists that he can’t do anything to halt the tsunami of humanity at our border ... but that’s a lie! We know it’s a lie and we know the intentions of the Democrats to use this breech of our sovereignty to capture the control of the American citizens through the census, the collapse of our economy and their ultimate goal of Communist government.
Come one come all, join me at the voting booth. It’s time we put a stop to this ...!

The Benefits Of A Data Center In Agriculture And Economic Growth
Editor, Times-Union: I’ve heard folks say I have prime farmland. What I haven’t heard mentioned are the eleven towers scattered across it - eleven towers that you have to till, plant, and harvest around. Heaven forbid you hit one. Planes that spray my fields can’t hit the full area because of these obstacles. I’ve got four irrigation units running to irrigate the best I can, where normally two would suffice.
