My fellow Americans, this tragedy in Minneapolis wounds us all.While tensions run high, violence begets violence, doing little to solve the underlying discord.Just as a house divided cannot stand, a nation torn by such conflict invites its own destruction.We must seek unity and justice through peace, not force.

This Minneapolis tragedy underscores the peril of unchecked immigration, corrupting the very fabric of our society. States' rights are paramount; a federal government dictating immigration policy tramples individual liberty. Such overreach invites discord, inevitably leading to internal strife, as history, from ancient republics to our own, demonstrates.
