Give real help to America
One of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises was to eliminate immigration and give the American people their jobs back. The number of illegal immigrant apprehensions at the border is down 60 percent since he was inaugurated, so where are these so-called jobs?
Unemployment is below 5 percent, but the reason is that people who were drawing unemployment have exhausted all their benefits so they are no longer on the unemployment list. The Trump administration has used these false numbers to show how many jobs have been created since January.
Why are all our retail stores closing? Sears, Walmart, Boeing and other large corporations are laying off employees.
If Trump was for America, he would invest in education, infrastructure, clean air and water, and good health insurance for all.
