Letter: Mr. Trump, tear down that wall!

(Eugene Garcia | AP) A pair of migrant families from Brazil passes through a gap in the border wall to reach the United States after crossing from Mexico in Yuma, Ariz., to seek asylum on June 10, 2021.

For the first time in the almost-decade that I’ve followed his political strategies, I agree with Donald Trump, but he’s not going far enough.

Yes, let’s take control of Greenland (cool vacation spot!) and Panama (ditto!), but even before that, let’s take control of Mexico.

Mr. Trump, tear down that wall between us and Mexico! Make Mexico the 51st state!

U.S. federal oversight of minimum wage and workplace safety will make it easier for those living in Mexico to stay and not emigrate.

Immediate residency status to any people born in Mexico who are living in the original U.S. states will solve the illegal immigration problem immediately!
