\nOpen Letter to NH Congressional and Senatorial Members<\/p>\n

To Secure our Southern Border<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the past 30 plus years we have had both Republicans and Democrats holding the highest office of President of the United States and each has talked about and promised to secure our porous Southern Border. <\/p>\n

But for the most part that was just the problem; there was a lot of talking, a lot of political posturing by all elected officials (on both sides) and a whole lot of kicking the can down the road. <\/p>\n

Over the past 30 to 35 years depending on what report you believe in we have some 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. America is the greatest nation in the world and much of the greatness has come from the millions upon millions of immigrants who came to this country legally. <\/p>\n

America is a nation of laws and if we fail to follow our laws and the greatest document in the world, our U.S. Constitution, we will cease to be the nation that most of us grew up in. Remember, every elected official has sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States as well as uphold the rule of law. <\/p>\n

When Donald Trump ran for President, he made many promises during the campaign and shocking to many, he actually kept those promises; but the one promise he spoke of most was building a wall and once and for all protecting our southern border.<\/p>\n

Today, we finally have a President, Donald Trump, who is serious about securing our border by building a wall where needed along the border, building steel fencing, adding drones, new technology where needed, increasing border patrol and anything else that is needed to once and for all secure our border. <\/p>\n

I ask all New Hampshire citizens to contact both your U.S. Congressional and Senatorial members and ask them to put their political differences aside for the good of our country and work with the President to protect all American Citizens by securing our border and seriously correcting our immigration laws. <\/p>\n

To my New Hampshire Congressman and Senators, please do the right thing; your constituency will be watching.<\/p>\n
