"A young undocumented honor student walks into an immigration hearing with her mother she walks out deported to Guatemala, wearing only the clothes on her back. She doesn't even speak Spanish, not a trace of an accent. What was achieved here? Who was made safer? Who benefited? These are not criminals. They pay taxes. They contribute. Now their jobs are empty, waiting for Americans who will never step forward to take them."
"With upwards of $1 billion in the current Powerball prize, no one person (or even a group) should be awarded such an obscene amount. I suggest that the drawing process be changed to award a winner(s) sooner before the amount reaches such astronomical numbers: When the estimated winnings reach $250 million or more, draw 6 numbers plus the Powerball. When winnings reach $500 million or more, draw 7 numbers plus the Powerball, and so forth for each $250 million increment."
"The fallback excuse is always: They broke the law. But that phrase is weaponized, designed to lump hardworking families together with rapists and drug lords. It is dishonest. It is immoral. Ronald Reagan faced the same dilemma. He chose citizenship, compassion and national strength. Donald Trump chooses cruelty, deception and self-promotion. Deportations like this don't solve problems. They invent them."
A young undocumented honor student was deported to Guatemala after an immigration hearing, wearing only the clothes on her back and not speaking Spanish. The letter contends that such deportations target hardworking families who pay taxes and contribute, arguing that labeling them criminals is dishonest and morally wrong. A separate letter proposes reforming Powerball mechanics by increasing the number of drawn numbers as jackpots rise (for example, drawing 6 numbers plus the Powerball at $250 million and 7 at $500 million) to award winners sooner while retaining the top-prize matching requirement. Another note calls for functional criteria to better incentivize transit-oriented housing development.
