Letter to the editor: Vote for candidates who will secure border, keep funding for police

I don’t know how any parents with school-age children can vote for a candidate, regardless of party, who won’t secure our southern border. We are losing our children from drugs being brought into our country by illegal immigrants every day. It is sad that we as a country are allowing this to happen.

Many politicians talk about wanting to defund the police. Crime is up in most of our big cities, some of which have reduced spending on police.

Please think twice before you cast your ballot on Nov. 8.
