Build a wall?

To all of the supporters of Donald Trump’s plan to deport immigrants living in the United States illegally, and his promise to build a wall along the Mexican border, I say that we are all descendants of illegal immigrants. I never read in the history books that the first Europeans who landed at Plymouth Rock had visas.

Perhaps the Native Americans and Mexicans should have built a wall to keep us out.
