Letter: It’s impossible to stop flood of migrants to U.S.

President Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on goods imported from Mexico was just a desperate but futile attempt to stem the human flood of unprecedented proportions that is breaching our borders.

Central Americans are unhappy with the living conditions in their home countries that they themselves collectively created, so they want to live here. They are unhindered passing through Mexico. Their sheer numbers are overwhelming our authorities to the point where it is impossible to process and send them back.
