Trump will protect U.S.

Hillary Clinton would leave our southern border wide open, allowing terrorists to enter the United States at will. We must make keeping terrorists out of this country our first priority.

I know Donald Trump says things that annoy some folks, but annoying speech is a tiny thing compared to having terrorists take over our country. We could soon be like France and Germany, with their huge percentage of Muslims, living with the expectation of weekly attacks. Do we want to live like that? Not that it takes a huge group to cause total chaos. It only takes a few.

Trump is our only hope for keeping terrorists out of here. That should be the only thought in our heads right now.
