Stronger together

The July 4 article “Are those firecrackers? Or is America falling apart on July 4?” is fanciful at best and apocryphal at worst.

We hold the free world together; NATO looks to us as the primary power; millions of immigrants come to our shores annually — legally and illegally — and once here are not in a hurry to leave. A million foreign students come to our universities annually and many overstay their visas — seems they like it here.

There may be some internecine problems, but cracking up? No way.
