Some people want to build walls. Some people want to build bridges. I have a few questions for the "bridge builders." Do you lock your house when you leave to run errands or go on vacation? Do you lock your house when you go to bed at night? if you do, why? Well duh! It's to keep bad people out of your home!

It's the same with building a wall on our southern border. We need to keep criminals from flowing into our country. Anyone who supports sanctuary cities doesn't care about the safety and security of American citizens. Every year Americans are killed in their own country by illegal aliens. The government has a duty to secure our borders and protect Americans from criminals who should not be in our country in the first place. The cost to build the wall is around $10 billion. Cost to the taxpayers for illegals is around $100 billion. A big difference, don't you think!

Since President Trump has been in office, illegals crossing our southern border are down 70 percent and the wall hasn't even been started. By going after illegals who are committing crimes against Americans, President Trump is simply enforcing laws that are already on the books. His travel ban is temporary! He wants to be sure people who want to come to our country are properly vetted and are not criminals. To all of you who want unending refugees/illegals coming into our country, I challenge you to take in a few and house them, feed them, clothe them, educate them, provide healthcare for them, etc. I have no problem with immigrants coming to our country for a better life. I do have a problem with unvetted people who refuse to assimilate and want to change our way of life. Just look at what's happening in Europe with all their open borders. It seems like every week we hear of another terrorist attack! Do you bridge builders want this for our country?

Criminal illegals continue to pour into our country, putting our society and especially our children at risk. Without borders, we have no country. Build The Wall!
