Israel Leon: Voting to secure our borders and keep America great

Re “Standing for Trump stands for hate” (Letters, Oct. 30): I’m Hispanic and I also received a nice letter and a picture of Jeff Denham’s family. I am glad they are standing firm in the belief that America has a right to a secure border; that this nation is a nation of laws and we should uphold them regardless of what or how we feel; that this country is more important than our feelings; that no one will let somebody walk into their house without knocking and then welcome them.

I was born in the Central Valley, and I have heard racist comments all my life. But I know America is not a racist nation, but a righteous nation with an ideal that is the source or our greatness. The belief that our rights come from God, not man. I will stand for America on Nov. 8 vote for a secure border and to keep America great.
