LETTER: 'Modest' border proposal fits Trump image

| August 22, 2015 8:49 PM

Dear Mr. Trump: Fencing the Mexican/U.S. border does not fit the Trump image. I visualize you proposing a super highway running from Brownsville, Texas, to the Pacific Ocean.

Eight lanes in total with four in each direction separated by a canal.

No upper speed limit but a minimum of 80 mph.  In the canal you would have alligators swimming so if an illegal made it across the first four lanes, he would have challenges getting across  the northern four lanes.

If he succeeded crossing all eight lanes you would offer him employment and an opportunity to work his way into a citizenship apprentice program.

In addition you would probably make the highway a toll road as one of your great ideas on reducing the national debt.

Please abandon any ideas of a fence and do the right thing... a solution befitting the Trump image. —Peter Daniels, Polson
