Letter: Donald Trump is correct on immigration problems

It seems that Donald Trump is the only American who has our immigration problems down correct.

If we had hundreds of our children riding on box cars across this country, their parents would be arrested. Then most of them, if not all of them, would receive a lifetime of free benefits paid for by the American taxpayers.

Most of them would later send money made here in the USA back to their home countries. It is costing us taxpayers an awful lot, but most politicians could care less. They only want to be re-elected.
