The person that called in about"mind your own business about Spanish and English, they misunderstand the whole picture. They are just on the defensive. The problem is the umpire did not know what the child was saying. So if the child was saying something bad, something inappropriate to other players, he did the right thing.

Why get so upset about children speaking Spanish? You should be praising them since they know two languages.

I hope everyone is paying attention to our Republican Congressman Steve Pearce and what he is trying to do in Washington, which is basically take away our rights to a national monument in the Organ Mountains to give to these rancher/oil developer buddies.

Doña Ana County residents should not trust Congressman Steve Pearce regarding a national monument. Don't forget that in 2008 Mr. Pearce proposed hideous legislation to eliminate all wilderness areas and to sell these federal lands.

Our governor was elected with the help of the minimum wage earners. We thought she would serve the people, instead with her no vote on minimum wage increase, she shows her true colors.

Pecans are not necessary to sustain life. Clean ground water is. We know what needs to be done. Prohibit pumping ground water for irrigating pecans.

The Sun-News has printed many novel interpretations of the Constitution, but Neal Hooks broke new ground when he opined that the Bill of Rights was really just left to the states. Great news for those who would outlaw guns.

Hooray for Neal Hooks for his conversion in favor of "equality and tolerance" just two weeks ago he favored denying state licenses to gay citizens. It shows a lot of personal growth.

I see where the Republicans in Congress, like our Steve Pearce, are blaming Obama for the slowdowns at the airport. If I remember the quote correctly, John Boehner said about the sequester, I got 98 percent of what I wanted.

Reading the Miranda Rights to the 19 year old bomber was a master plan for more bombing. The Obama Administration is crazy.

Since 1980, 900,000 people have died from gun violence. Only 3,400 died from terrorist attacks. Republicans implemented the strictest laws to prevent terrorist attacks but will not allow even a vote to close loopholes in background checks to buy guns.

The immigration policy of the US is an abject failure. Proof is the two young foreigners who have been here for 10 years and just murdered several Americans in a terrorist attack in Boston.

We all know it is time America needs to be more vigilant. Ears and eyes open constantly. We never know these young children can be so well persuaded and as parents we have to guide out children.

As an example of the Founding Fathers' supposed fear of the people, and desire to limit gun ownership, I offer a quote from Thomas Jefferson, "No free man shall be debarred the use of arms within his own land."

The top 20 percent in this country have $1 million in wealth for every person in that group. They are the ones Republicans are fighting to keep their tax break loopholes and subsidies for yachts and Lear jets, but want to cut the bottom 40 percent of us with our safety nets, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Thirty-seven cent of each Federal tax dollar goes to pay for Bush's wars. Republicans won't talk about that and think Americans won't remember. Bush left the war payments to Obama to handle.
