Don’t blame Americans for U.S. border fiasco

I quote from Charles Parrish’s Nov. 28 letter: “We can never ensure people fleeing hardship and crime cannot enter the country or stop those who want to import drugs for profit. It is a fool’s errand. In both cases, we must stop demand in our own country.”

Yes, blame it on us American fools. Simple: Just stop the addicts from wanting drugs. Simple: Just tell illegal aliens not to come.

As a simple American fool, I am betting the Trump wall, with its sophisticated electronics and tunnel detection gear — along with our brave Border Patrol agents — will greatly limit illegal asylum-seekers and drugs from entering the United States. Unlike Mr. Parrish, I don’t concede this country to illegals and drug lords without trying to stop them.

Regarding your Wednesday article on the proposed legislation to eliminate federal income taxes on tips, one critical piece is missing. While both Nevada senators, Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, expressed support for the bill, neither was asked why they have spent more than six years in office and never proposed this action until President Donald Trump raised the issue.
