Think they will dig a tunnel?

“Q&A: Do migrants who enter illegally get ‘due process?,’ ” June 27 news story

President Trump keeps talking about building his beautiful border wall between the United States and Mexico, at an estimated cost of $40 billion. And journalists report on it without questioning its efficacy.

Has anyone thought of tunneling? Remember the tunnel that (Joaquin “El Chapo”) Guzman used to escape? How about the tunnel the Palestinians built that almost reached Tel Aviv? Or the existing, sophisticated tunnels that already exist between the two countries?

Doesn’t this administration have better use for $40 billion?

Broomfield able to pay the $609 hospital service bill, and the estimated $1,700 for the doctor services, emergency services and ambulance ride.

But we know many are unable to do so because they are undocumented or documented and (rightly) fearful and/or unable to cover such exorbitant fees.

Those facts are shameful. For our estimation, when we compare the universal health insurance we paid for through taxes in Germany, we pay nearly twice as much in fees and have less than half the coverage in the United States.

I call on Congress to demand ICE stand down and stop any arrests in medical settings. Legislators also should support universal health care for all, in line with and even better than the level of care they receive from our tax money.
