Letter to the editor: Demand that Biden address border issues

It is time for American citizens to inform the president that he is not doing his job protecting them. Why are we allowing him to ignore the border problem? The only thing we hear is the president and his administration state that the border is secure.

There is no transparency concerning the border; President Biden avoids questions concerning it often. America, wake up. Our leaders should not be allowed to ignore major problems; remember, they work for us. They need to put some effort in trying to correct the situation. Americans are being insulted when we are told the border is secure. They must think we are fools willing to accept that answer and not be outraged.

It is time for Americans to speak up. Maybe what is needed is a large protest demanding our president really secure the border and address problems. That would get his attention. We see so many Americans protesting, so why not rise up and demand that the problem be fixed?

Having over 200,000 immigrants encountered at the border in August, and the drugs being confiscated recently, are really a disgrace. The lack of attention to this problem makes America look weak to the rest of the world. If we cannot control the border, then God help us if we ever have to go to war with another country.
