LETTER: Border patrol agents only enforcing the law

Why is the border crisis a Republican versus Democrat thing? Half or more of the border patrol agents are probably Democrats. The law of the land states that illegal immigration is not allowed. The border patrol agents are supposed to enforce that law regardless of political ideology. Yet, the Democrats, who are currently in charge of protecting the border, cry foul when one of our agents uses a horse to stop illegal immigrants. Democrats then lie about officers whipping people.

Why do the Democrats immediately believe that every border patrol agent on a horse is Donald Trump? They are not Mr. Trump but rather Americans who are attempting to follow the law, to stop illegal immigration and to protect our border.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
