If justice was served when ICE picked up the 680-plus workers in Mississippi, they would have arrested the law breakers who hired them, the owners of the companies and the people who supervised them. If you want illegal immigration to stop, arrest the rich people at the top of the food chain who are the truly guilty ones.
I can’t believe the comments in Speak Out from people wanting the newspaper to totally ignore SEMO athletics and only report on Jackson football. SEMO is finally trending toward becoming a football program to be reckoned with and they need to be supported. After all, the university is one of the biggest employers in town. If you have been out of high school for more than five years, have no close friends or relatives playing and are still obsessed with local high school football there is something sadly lacking in your life!
The businesses whining about the interchange need to suck it up. You aren’t Dalhousie/elite Bloomfield Road residents. They won’t build a road through a field just for you to avoid inconvenience for normal folks.
Please keep the coverage of SEMO football coming! The players might come from places far away, but while they’re here for a few years, they are “our kids.” LGR! Let’s go Redhawks!
