We should be ashamed

This letter is in response to Don Rea (July 22). You can not be so naïve as to believe this border crisis is not orchestrated for the political gain of some.

No mother would hand over a child still in diapers to a stranger on the road to who knows where with no home in sight. I personally believe these babies are kidnapped or worse. Have you seen the tattooed pictures of gang members coming in? The only way to put an end to this fiasco is to return them to their homes. This is human trafficking. How many children are in the hands of sex traders? They have to go home in a humane way.

The state of California has no water now — add a few million more people and what will happen? Shut our borders now. We need to demand it of our president, who prefers to shoot pool and drink beer than to go to the border.

How much more are you willing to pay for welfare? It’s not the babies’ fault, but it must be stopped. The gang bangers just drop them off in Mexico. Why are we putting up with lawlessness? We should be ashamed of what we are becoming as a nation! It will only get worse until the citizens say “stop.”
