LETTER: Immigration policy should focus on real issues

I’m not sure if you are aware, but we have a border with Canada that begins a few miles north of Sequim and runs 5,525 miles east?

The same border across which suspected terrorists and tons of illegal drugs and contraband have crossed.

I assume in some minds, we should build walls across both borders or perhaps because the majority of Canadians are white a northern wall is unnecessary?

Either way, building walls is historically a bad idea — take for example, China or East and West Germany.

Isolationism is a path to ruin; as the world gets smaller we should be building bridges, not walls.

Strong immigration policy is imperative as long as it deals with the real issues, not made-up ones.
