ANOTHER VIEW: Trump’s immigration issue will backfire on him

By Jack Bernard |  Immigrants commit less crime per capita than United States citizens, period. However, U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., is correct that the Riley murder was horrible. But a  iot is incorrect in blaming Biden. Immigration policy has been a mess because of inaction by both parties.

BERNARD: It’s un-American to hold 700,000 “Dreamers” in limbo

By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist  |  As of 2017, there were nearly 700,000 “Dreamers.” These “Dreamers” are undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. They are named after the Dream Act, which was first introduced into Congress 20 years ago (and reintroduced numerous times since), but never passed because of opposition from Republicans.

BERNARD: President Bush-2 outlined immigrant strategy years ago

By Jack Bernard, Peachtree City, Ga. | A recent Gallup study examined long-term trends in immigration attitudes among Americans, a topic perhaps of particular interest to those in Gwinnett County. Surprisingly, it found that the number of Americans who wanted immigration decreased had not changed much in 50 years. Only 38 percent of Americans currently (7-16) want a decrease in immigration versus 33 percent in 1965.
