Questions Without Answers

As most Americans probably do, I have a lot of questions about what's going on in the country. 

First question: Why do we need a "deal" in Congress to control the southern border when the United States has valid laws, processes, and procedures already in place to manage immigration?

Next question: Why are New York City students being sent home so that their school can be used as a dormitory for illegal aliens?

Third question: Why do I have to buy a ticket, present government-issued identification, and go through security checks to fly on a plane when illegal aliens breaking the law by crashing the border are flown to their US destinations without questions, identification, vetting, or payment for their tickets? (Oh, wait. Taxpayers like you and I are paying for their tickets. Silly me.)

Those are only the first three questions, and I could go on for quite some time. I'm sure you could as well. Five years ago, these scenarios were unimaginable. Yet look how quickly they all transpired and turned into national catastrophes.  

My questions above focused on the illegal immigration crisis. But there is a smorgasbord of constitutional crises happening daily in the US. Any one of us could ask one hundred questions and just be getting started. 

What about the hundreds of thousands of fentanyl deaths? What about the crime waves in major cities? What about the dismantling of police protection? What about school curricula promoting the sexualization of children and the throttling of parental influence?

How about the government threatening parents speaking out at school board meetings, Catholic Latin mass goers, and people who pray outside abortion clinics? Do such actions by the government respect our constitutional rights?

Can we ever expect any satisfactory answers to our questions? Now, that's a silly question.
