    " To Mr. Gardner,
    I won't claim that immigration doesn't cause problems (social, security, financial, etc). But, I don't see the connection to immigration and the lengthening police blotter in the Mat Su. These people's problem isn't disloyalty to the US, but to lawfulness and common sense. That's a more serious problem in my opinion. "

    " I bought some groceries at the store and helped someone keep their job. I drove to the store sober and obeyed every single law along the way. That is what I did for my community today. Headlight guy guy is still an idiot and will be judged in a court of law. See how you judge drunk drivers after you lose a family member to one of em. "
