REPUBLICAN SPEAKER PAUL RYAN VS. TRUMP

On May 8 the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an editorial praising Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan for not endorsing the presumptive Republican nominee for President, Donald Trump.  The newspaper, largest in Wisconsin, praised Ryan's stand on immigration, Muslims, and other issues.  I wrote a letter to the paper, published on Friday the th of May disagreeing with the editorial.  The newspaper contended Trump did not deserve endorsement because he had no standards.  The paper titiled my letter "Trump Standard: America First"  Letters are usually limited to 200 words, so I had to be quite brief.  Where I had written "afirmative-action preferences" the paper revised to "preferences."  Otherwise, the the published version was much the same as the original.  Below is my original letter.  Hugh Murray


Letters to the Editor
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Dear Editor:

          Your editorial of May 8 (A leader without standards) is deceptive in its portrayal of a conflict between Republican leaders Donald Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan.  Who has the better standards?
          A recent report stated that the Obama Administration has allocated over $1,700 for every unaccompanied minor who invades this country.  Meanwhile, the average monthly social security check for law-abiding American citizens is $1,300.  Ryan’s response – he hopes to cut social security.  Why does he not seek to defund  Obama’s program of aiding and abetting an invasion of the United States?
          Ryan also favors some form of amnesty for the millions of invaders.  If the Obama-Ryan crowd succeeds, perhaps 10 million more will be eligible for affirmative-action preferences.  That means the invaders will jump to the head of the line in university admissions, scholarships, jobs, promotions – above most law-abiding American citizens.  The Obama-Ryan proposal is clearly unjust.
          Trump’s standard is America First!  Build the wall; deport the invaders; if some allege they are refugees, if they are Muslims make sure they are the persecuted and NOT the persecutors.  Trump wants to protect America and American jobs.  If Trump wins, it will be a terrific change.
           Sincerely,   Hugh Murray
