Editor,

The basic problem with Trump’s immigration policy started with poor documentation on the part of Native Americans. Maybe they had Windows Vista? I don’t know. From the earliest days we never established a unified record of who belongs here.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Antoniak, and your suggestions to ensure “official” status. Fortunately, we have passport procedures in place. I wouldn’t worry too much about Native Americans since they have their Tribal Police as well as their own methods of “official” status identification. Folks with passports or qualifying enhanced IDs are allowed into the U.S. with no issue. For those who don’t have proof of citizenship, let’s get them into the system in the next, say, six months. If they choose not to obtain proof of citizenship documents, then they’ve opted to deal with the hassle of not having proof of citizenship. BTW, you say ICE quotas have led to the deportation of many law-abiding citizens. I’d say that is a false statement. Anyone who crosses our border illegally has committed a crime and is not law-abiding. As such, they should be deported.
