LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Danger’ not a crisis?

OPINION:

I really have to laugh. Those who represent me in Congress, Rep. Steny Hoyer and Sens. Benjamin Cardin and Chris Van Hollen, are telling me that there is no crisis on our border with Mexico. Mr. Hoyer even went down to the border to see for himself. I wonder if they would go to the Sonoran Desert National Monument south of Interstate 8, where Americans are warned not to go because it is too dangerous. If Americans are told not to visit that area of their own country due to smuggling and illegal immigration, isn’t that a crisis?
