The Honolulu Star-Advertiser published my Letter to the Editor in the Tuesday, September 20 edition. Our politicians need to stop pointing fingers and get their acts together. Their efforts seem to be more about them and power rather than helping us regular folks.

Text of my letter:

I must show my Hawaiian State ID to visit the black sand beach at Wai`ānapanapa State Park on Maui. Also, when entering a federal building or boarding an airplane. Oddly, non-U.S. citizens, coming from 140 different countries, can freely cross our southern border with little hindrance. Approximately 6,000 per day cross our government-allowed open border. No ID is required, and our government has little to no knowledge of criminal or medical history. Some will cross with the deadly drugs of the Mexican cartels, which will kill our families and friends. All this illegal activity is approved government madness. Our elected representatives should take note; the regular folks understand incompetence and dishonesty. As one of your constituents who votes, I suggest that all our elected representatives stop pointing fingers and get your acts together or seek employment elsewhere.
