I have posted the following paragraphs on Facebook. If you want to do the same, please feel free to use. If enough people call and write, perhaps we can get a campaign started to use the $10 billion for Puerto Rico—a far better use than a stupid border wall.



The Republican budget includes $10 billion to start building another part of a wall on the border with Mexico. Very few people believe that such a wall is needed or will even be effective. In addition, it will cause huge environmental damage, especially to migrating animals whose habitat will be destroyed, along with destroying many border businesses and costing jobs throughout the U.S. for companies that supply those businesses. Some U.S. citizens may be forced to give up their homes or live on the Mexican side of the wall because of the terrain where the wall would be built.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Maria virtually destoyed the entire island of Puerto Rico, and people there need help. If you agree that the $10 billion would be better spent helping the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico rebuild their infrastructure, call and write your member of Congress and ask them to dedicate that money to rebuilding Puerto Rico.
