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, ... 22 Nov 2025 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. The video showed numerous people of various ages peacefully holding signs such as “Fire Ice,” “We were all Immigrants,” “Abolish ICE,” “ICE is un-American,” “ICE — Hands Off,” etc. However, the comments posted below the video denigrated the participants with the following: “One can only assume this was a AARP-organized event.” “The [assisted] living facilities in the area need somewhere for the residents ... by Staff Writer

Owed Full Truth

Congressman Nick LaLota’s latest newsletter suggests that either he thinks we, his constituents, are ignorant, or that he, our representative, is willfully ignoring and misrepresenting the public facts. First, contrary to his statement that he supports “expos[ing] the full [Epstein] network, protect victims, safeguard innocent people, and ensure justice is never weaponized,” prior to his vote to release the Epstein files held by the Department of Justice and FBI, he did not sign the discharge petition to get legislation onto the floor of the House. It was not until the president changed his tune on Sunday, November 16, and said ... by Staff Writer

Who's To Blame?

It is Ed Surgan [“Warped View,” Letters, November 20] who seems to have the warped view. He lays the blame for the level of illegal immigration in our country squarely with the Democrats, but there has not been a successfully passed immigration reform bill since the Simpson-Mazzoli Act of 1986, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. Attempts in 2007, 2013 and 2021 all failed to gain enough traction to pass, and the most recent bipartisan bill, in 2024, was killed by then-candidate Donald Trump. So, if there is a need to place blame at anyone’s door, that blame should ... by Staff Writer
