Freedom Experiment

There seems to be no end to the rationalizations for excusing the mass invasion of foreign nationals who crossed our borders without any authority to do so. Amy Paradise [“Define the Problem,” Letters, November 20] listed excuses why we should be sympathetic to their plight: economic opportunity; authoritarian, repressive governments; climate change; exposure via the internet to better situations; drug smuggling; U.S. business welcomes their cheap labor; and our historically benevolent history of welcoming them. Each one, it could be argued, serves our better angels, but Americans seem to discount the cost to scrub each case. Many stand on corners, ... by Staff Writer

Our Neighbors

There was a post that appeared on Facebook from 27east describing the anti-ICE demonstration in Westhampton Beach on Friday, November 14. Scrolling through the comments, I was horrified to see the worst of human nature in print.
