Trump is protecting his people, as he promised

Re: “School-trip problems are a lesson in history,” column, March 4. President Donald Trump was democratically elected, and now has the responsibility and authority to protect America and its citizens. Americans are fed up with radical Islamic attacks such as 9/11, the Boston Marathon, San Bernadino, Garland, Texas, Ohio State, and many more, on their land.

Significantly, columnist Geoff Johnson refers to crossing borders freely in 1970s Europe. It is a fact that open borders now menace Europe.

Bomb explosions in the Brussels airport, trucks driven through civilian pedestrians in Nice and Berlin, mass shootings in Paris nightclubs and restaurants, the list goes on.

European leaders tell their citizens they will have to get used to terrorism. But Europeans are weary of terrorism and will vote accordingly.

After the Berlin Christmas market terrorist attack in December 2016, concrete barriers were set up to protect Christmas markets in Montreal and Toronto. If we are really so safe in Canada, why was this necessary?

In Canada, the leftist media and most politicians engage in name-calling and finger-wagging at Trump.

To avoid the mess Europe is in, Canada needs to start screening every single immigrant for Canadian values now. National security is a critical issue, let’s not wait until Canada is just another messed-up Sweden.

Our delusional media and politicians need to stop pretending that radical Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist, or that it can’t happen here because everyone loves Canada.

Trump is right to fulfil his campaign promises. For my next holiday, I’m going to the U.S.A. Ken Lindstein Victoria
