"Popution Control" Tom Denton Letter to the Editor

Population Control

Without using Mitt Romney’s 2012 terminology of “self-deportation” of undocumented immigrants, Donald Trump has successfully implemented the policy. Increased, aggressive efforts of immigration agents and threatening publicity have had their effect. Immigrants are disappearing from English tutoring programs—disappearing from public life in general—are withdrawing their children from schools, and are working hard to build funds as they prepare to leave the country.
Similarly, the President seeks to “bend the cost curve” of our national health care with a policy of “self-expiration.” Under the repeal and replace health care proposal of Trump/Ryan, lower income and older Americans will have the freedom and choice to refuse health insurance they cannot possibly afford. Being patriotic and proud, they will do their expiring in the privacy of their own homes, without burdening the overtaxed health care system. Voilά.

Presidential Postscript: must double down on the first pogrom (oops, program). Damn Democrats.
