Trump administration wrong on immigration, border wall

Donald Trump’s lasted fiasco and shenanigans are the acts of a charlatan who is deceiving the American people. His latest was to force a single mother to return to Honduras without her four daughters. She had been in the United States for 15 years and two of her daughters were born here.

My father graduated from George Washington University. When he was a student, he was a guard at the White House and elevator operator in the Capitol building. He had a doctorate from Duke University. He was with the Farm Security Administration after college and helped many farmers save farms during the Depression.

I have a bachelor of science degree in foreign trade. Our economics professor, Dr. Graue, was on an advisory board for the U.S. president. Building a wall on the border of Mexico will cost the American people billions of dollars. I am certain that every time Donald Trump is on television, Dr. Graue is turning over in his grave
