Reader Opinion: Infrastructure first

President Trump wants to build the great U.S./Mexican wall. He says the Mexicans will pay later and we will pay now. It is debatable if the wall is needed now, later, or ever. Mexico paying for it in any form? Dream on! Maybe business could build...

President Trump wants to build the great U.S./Mexican wall. He says the Mexicans will pay later and we will pay now. It is debatable if the wall is needed now, later, or ever. Mexico paying for it in any form? Dream on! Maybe business could build it and make a "toll wall?"

The United States infrastructure is in need and or replacement now. There is no question or debate about the need. It appears that interest rates are about as low as they will be for a while.

The health of our infrastructure should take more consideration and priority over the "wall' without debate.

Any money or plans to start the "wall" should be stopped and used for our roads and bridges before any consideration is given to the wall. This would verify the President's promise to put "America first."
