Letter | Finally, a candidate says what most are afraid to say: Donald Trump speaks hard truths

Donald Trump speaks hard truths

Kudos to Donald Trump. He has the guts to say what the majority of American citizens feel - but are scared to say.

“Illegals” are costing the U.S. millions and millions of dollars each year.

They sneak across the border and get government benefits they are not entitled to, start protesting, and make demands about what they want.

What do you think would happen if we sneaked into Mexico and did the same thing?

Additional teachers have to be hired to teach them English; extra schools are needed due to the influx.

Many are gang members and costs in excess of $60,000 per inmate a year. There are many good and decent ones who just want a better life in the U.S. - but they do it legally.

All “illegals” - not just Mexicans - should have been deported years ago.

Wouldn't it be great if our government protected American citizens the way it protects them?
