Fund the wall ourselves

Sun., Jan. 13, 2019

Well, as an American, I believe President Trump’s speech on Jan. 8 that the wall should be built now! I suggest that an account be set up for those of us who believe in supporting defending our borders donate funds to build it. It should take less than $30 from each American to build it. I would be honored to be the first to donate and would write a check for $100 or more and ask each to do the same and get the politicians to shut up!
