Bad News Monologue

Hello Hanny and Paul, Thanks again for your emails, I was planning to write to you earlier but I didn't have much ambition since I had another bad flu. For years I have been lucky, hardly got sick at all with the flu or cold, at worst very mild ones. The last few years, but especially this fall and now into January, I've been sick several times and now I have my persistent cough back, annoying.

What country would issue driver's licenses and give welfare assistance to people that are illegally in the country? it's just absurd. What country would have a president (Obama) that would encourage illegal immigrants to vote in the federal election? (Video on YT). Due to the totally open border with Mexico, Mexico has become a very dangerous place (and many cities in the U.S.). Mexican, South and Central American drug cartels all pouring the drugs
