Letter: Border security impacts local jobs

Aug 26, 2025

Thanks to the previous administration under President Joe Biden, America’s border security was in crisis. For too long Congress has failed to take action, leaving our immigration system broken, our borders unsecure and our communities vulnerable.

We must demand real solutions.

Tell Congress to prioritize border security now. End the abuse of the asylum system, provide the resources necessary to secure the border and enforce existing laws.

And if Biden does get re-elected, you might as well just change our nation’s flag like they did to the Utah flag (which many people think looks ugly).

With our borders unprotected like Biden wants, all we are going to do is let in all the illegal immigrants who can’t speak a word of English.

Yes, they do take our jobs.

I worked for five-and-a-half years at the McDonald’s on North Main back when K-mart was there. I was the fry cook for the first three-and-a-half years. When our dishwasher needed surgery, I became the new dishwasher. Then we got a new manager who began hiring a lot of Mexicans. Since I was disabled, I was mistreated. If you go there now, though, not a single one of those Mexicans are there now. They come here to chase us away from our jobs.

If you want that to happen to you, re-elect Biden.
