Enough already!
Enough is enough of negative writings, statements, and interviews about the granting of improved immigration status for all the nonresident workers here in the CNMI.
Once upon a time in our Commonwealth’s history, the federal government granted us the exclusive authority to control our borders and immigration affairs. But we failed to study hard and, even more, we failed to turn in our homework on time. Since then the time down the road has changed almost completely because we have failed to foresee far away in the horizon that something in motion has already been moving and heading to our self-destruction. Today, the time has come against us like a strong current pushing us off the land floating in the water, and those floating ones in the water for months and years have come for their turn to land on land and get a breather.
Yes, the divided towns in the CNMI are crying out loud that the indigenous local population could become a minority in the future. Whether the future will dictate what will happen and what will not happen, the bottom line is that what we have been fearful and that which we have failed to do since the beginning has caught us all off-guard in defenselessness and speechlessness.
Whether one likes it or not the door of granting improved immigration status to the nonresident workers here in the CNMI will happen under the watches of President Obama, U.S. Congress, and Congressman Kilili.
Speaking of Congressman Kilili, he will win again and return to Washington, D.C. for another two years. Congressman Kilili is already there and has already been there, so why change him? Why fix a problem when there’s no problem? Congressman Kilili’s problems are our problems that we give him to fix for the future of our CNMI. So vote him again for the protection of all people across the lands here in the CNMI
