I read with interest last week’s letter about the “oval office sham” where the writer called President Donald Trump a “liar,” “hate filled,” “disgusting” and “immoral” because he wants a border wall. That is pretty hard language.
From the day that Trump ran for office he talked openly about the need to build a wall to stop the flood of illegal crossings into our county. About half of the citizens of the U.S. voted for him and his wall ideal. That vote is a reflection of the will of a large portion of the people.
Those that want open free borders should stand up and just say that. They must believe that a steady flood of immigrants from South America will make this country better. I do not agree.
