A Response to my Letter to Secretary Kelly

So, I finally got a response to my letter to Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly.  A few days ago I received a letter on what purports to be U.S. Customs and Border Protection letterhead (I have no reason to think that it is not) which reads, in its entirety:

"March 17, 2017

"Thank you for contacting the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) about border security.  DHS has asked that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) respond on its behalf.  CBP appreciates your taking time to share your thoughts and concerns with us.  We have forwarded your letter to the appropriate CBP office.

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection"

It is unsigned.

I responses, today I sent U.S. Customs and Border Protection the following letter.  We'll see what they say.

Re:  Need for a wall through Big Bend National Park

Dear Sir or Madame:

          On March 1. 2017, I sent a letter to Secretary Kelly asking him

“First:  What will you tell Congressman Williams regarding the need to build a wall through Big Bend National Park?

“Second:  If you tell Congressman Williams that it is necessary to build a wall through Big Bend National Park, will you tell him that such a wall could just as effectively be built north of the park?”

          A few days ago I received a letter from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection dated March 17, 2017, acknowledging receipt of my letter to Secretary Kelly and stating that “DHS has asked that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) respond on its behalf.”

          The letter further states that “[w]e have forwarded your letter to the appropriate CBP office,” but it does not state which office it to which it was forwarded.

          May I please know the name of the office or person to which or whom my letter was forwarded?

          Thank you for your time and attention.

                                                                                Sincerely,



                                                                                James W. Collins

Cc:  Secretary John Kelly
       Congressman Roger Williams
