Immigrants will enter in spite of any useless border wall

Immigrants will enter the USA in spite of an evil and expensive border wall.

An echo opinion- published in Rock Hill South Carolina, The Herald newspaper.

Does *stupid* Donald Trump actually believe that his expensive border wall will keep the illegal immigrant out of America? Can anybody give him a contract to buy the Brooklyn Bridge? Donald Trump stands a better chance of buying the Brooklyn Bridge than proving how his failed border wall will keep illegal immigrants from entering America.

Most likely, we are only going to deal only with a reduced number of illegals, while the big criminals will gain access to any place they choose. The United States, it seems, stays on the top of all the illegal immigration lists. The people bringing them into the US will dig tunnels, use airplanes or any technique to conquer this wall.

The big question is, how long is it going to take to complete this expensive structure and, frankly, is it really worth it?

Wouldn't it be a much better idea to drum up all Trump's billionaire friends, including himself of course, to create a much better option of donating those "lousy few billions" for that border wall? And would that kind of a tax break for all of them taste as sweet as honey?

And here is my latest prayer request: "Please Lord, let this wrong minded White House "top cat" come to his senses or, if not, line him up for a brain transplant."

Tax cuts for the rich will be paid by our children

Echo- Letter to the editor published in The Herald a South Carolina newspaper: The Rock Hill Herald and The Fort Mill Times.

Tax cut only added to deficit and national debt

The tax cut has been in effect for several months, so everyone has gotten used to having a little or a lot more take home pay in their check, or maybe not. This tax cut has simply added to an already huge deficit and national debt. (Meanwhile, consumer prices have increased especially regarding the costs of medical care and pharmaceuticals.)

If we had an annual surplus, the prudent thing would be to pay down the national debt, but a tax cut could considered, but we don’t — we already had a deficit before this fiscally irresponsible action.

If you could not pay your bill and every month the shortage was added to your credit card, as long as you paid the ever increasing interest, fully intending to leave the principle for your children and grandchildren to pay: would you do that? No, neither would I, but our government just did and plans to do so again. So don’t thank any politicians. Thank your children and grandchildren. You are spending their money.
