Most of the recent improvements at Memorial Field in Sandpoint, Idaho, are completely unnecessary and only increased the project costs and the burden on the taxpayer. The replacement of the old unsafe grandstands and locker rooms was needed. The improvements to the entrance, sidewalks, lighting, and the extensive landscaping were absolutely unnecessary and were probably done to benefit The Festival, which has outlived its’ usefulness and is sustained mainly by the sponsors and donations.

Congress has had more than 20 years to act on the illegal alien problem and have chosen to dodge it. Now that President Trump is acting on the problem, Congress is crying foul and that it’s their problem to solve. Congress has had ample time to act on the illegal alien problem and has chosen to do nothing, compounding the problem tenfold. President Trump may not have the solution, but at least he is acting on it and has forced Congress to acknowledge the problem.

If a person is in the U.S. illegally they’re breaking the law and are an illegal alien and a criminal.
