Letter to the editor: To Rep. Tina Sablan

PUBLIC Law 15-108 is a good law authored by the Honorable Congresswoman Cinta Kaipat. Everyone was given ample time to submit comments and we believe that the Department of Labor announced an extended 30 days for comments to be submitted. You have only been in office less than two weeks and this is your priority. Obviously you do not represent your constituents.

For many years, our elected leaders in the past and, of course, presently have neglected addressing our labor and immigration loopholes and flaws in our system in which everyone benefited from, and now that it’s locked down you are opposing the contents of the law. Ms. Sablan, this you have expressed loudly during all your forums prior to being elected.

One of your highest priorities in your platform was to address and prevent lawmakers from habitual amendments after amendments of laws. Now that you are a freshman lawmaker, you are no different! In fact worse. Are you now going back on your own words? The same way you did when you deceived the voters of Precinct 1?

Taotao Tano supported this law since the day it was first introduced to the day it was signed into law. The law addresses all the major problems in our labor and immigration system including prioritizing all locals and U.S. citizens in terms of employment.

Now, as for your civil rights activism here in our homeland, I ask you to refrain from using the names of the great Dr. Martin Luther King and Ghandi for your misunderstanding and misguidance are now tarnishing their great names and work.

The one thing I do know about these great people is that they never deceived their own people for their own personal gain.

GREGORIO CRUZ

President
