Letter to the editor: Why not make Mexico our 52nd state?
President Trump has been proposing to make Canada our 51st state. The reason Trump has stated for this proposal is to control our borders and stop fentanyl coming across our border. In reality our issues with border crossings and fentanyl have been far more problematic with our border neighbor to the south, Mexico, than those issues with Canada. So why isn’t Trump proposing making Mexico our 52nd state?
With Trump it is not simply a black and white issue; I’d say it’s more likely a brown and white issue.
