Letter: Bob Parks, Trump and the wall

Marco Rubio lost out because he thought that the Democratic liberals like Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer and moderate Republicans like John McCain could be trusted on securing the border, while at the same time making a humane way and path to citizenship of dealing with the 12-15 million illegal immigrants in our country.

Anyone dealing in reality knows that they would never keep their agreement on securing the border. In my opinion, Bob Parks, along with many of us, are totally frustrated with Obama and like Democrats, and the moderate Republicans who reject securing the border to insure more liberal voters for the Democrats, and to create cheap labor for big business. These types of people care more about their own self-interest than our national interest. Because of this, many don’t trust any dealmaking until the border is secure.

Donald Trump has become popular by promising to do something about it by building a wall. Many don’t necessarily like him, but they trust him far more in solving the illegal immigration problem and securing the border to better our national security than those who are part of the establishment in power now.
