More Idiocy Closer to Home

Boise, the capital of Idaho, is being identified by the Department of Homeland Security as a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. I have lived in Boise for 73 and 1/2 years now and have been able to keep away from the white supremacists who lived in Northern Idaho until just a few years ago when the law was finally able to get rid of them. But not this. Idaho is a very red state. I thought this fact might even protect my family if the worst came to the worst. My grandparents were Republicans. I never agreed with much of it. I hope that ICE will stay away, but it doesn't look like it. The mayor is not adhering to certain new flag-waving laws. (She wouldn't take down the Pride flag) This is hurting Boise big time, it seems. And, supporting immigrants and refugees is making Trump's administration deem Boise as a "Welcoming city," even though Idaho state law prohibits jurisdictions from establishing sanctuary city policies. So this is just more of Trump's idiocy, and one more way to drive my anxiety level through the roof.

Our country is changing, little by little, with this new administration.

In my opinion all those bloody pride flags should be torn down and burned. They shouldn't be in schools They shouldn't be on buildings .if that offends anyone so be it

Please try not to worry. A stupid suggestion I guess. But there is nothing you can do to help the situation in your city. We can only hope for better days ahead.

You are right. I am trying to keep my mind on other things. This has been my home for so long I just hate to have negativity seep in.
