I find the painting of famous Native American hunter pointing a rifle at a man preticuly racist.

Civic art need not be eternal, especially if it is meant to tell a story, as this art is. Time to support new artists and reconsider the impact of the visuals we choose for our public spaces.

We need more pictures of gays, and gay things. Just to make sure that everyone knows they’re are gays.

We must control history, to be able to control the future.

We need to be reminded of the past and the progress made from those events. Proposals of this ilk simply appease those with personal agendas who feel they are more important than history itself. They feel they are more important than than the rest of us when in reality we are aware they are not.

History can be ugly, but removing the reality of it would be much worse! Denying history would translate to a repeat of it.

We should not be destroying history. It is important to see just how far we have come in so many ways. Those murals help demonstrate that.

You cannot erase history....those that do are doomed to repeat it.

There wasn't such a thing as sick days in the Army. You were told to quit being a female body part and ruckup and draw fire.

The new paid sick leave requirements were another 'problem' that didn't exist and certainly didn't require more government regulation.

If you staff correctly & uphold attendance policies, there shouldn't be an issue. Unwell employees means non-productive employees. If you can afford expensive vacations, then you can take care of your employees. It's that simple.

Of course, isn't locking up people who are criminals their jobs?

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
