Letter: Democratic leaders willing to disrupt lives of hardworking Americans

It is difficult to understand what motives the current Democratic leadership. Those currently in charge of the Democratic party believe it is okay to disrupt the lives of hardworking, law-abiding American citizens who have made the coal industry their way of life for many generations. These leaders won’t even consider investing any funds into developing technology to make coal environmentally safe to save these jobs.

On the other hand, these Democratic leaders believe it is unacceptable to disrupt the lives of those hardworking individuals who have broken our laws by coming into our country illegally.

Shame on these Democratic leaders that are willing to disrupt the lives of hardworking Americans by eliminating their jobs, and are willing to issue an illegal executive order to support non-Americans who have knowingly broken the law.
