Letter body: 

Are we on a path to destruction?

We have numerous politicians, in both parties, who continuously vote for what they know is wrong for our country, but continue to do so because of their party pressure.

The illegal alien problems are a prime example of this. Both parties are failing our country here and the majority of the citizens are becoming very irritated by their lack of action.

Donald Trump has excited our country with promises of some real action concerning the illegal alien nightmare. He makes us think there might be some hope.

The burden and expenses brought to our taxpaying citizens are continuing to grow. Those include failure to obey our laws as illegal immigrants cross our borders and ignore most of our other laws. The refusal to learn the English language is costing us billions.

How many illegal aliens do you think pay any taxes?

Years ago we were concerned about overpopulation. We must forget that problem now because the illegal aliens are exploding our population.

Some illegal supporters claim that we need the cheap labor. Are these supporters the same people who want to raise the minimum wage?

Do you care?
