Policing is tough, but Michael Letts says there's an easy way to improve it - at the border.

EAGLE PASS, TX - Since 2020, there have been constant attacks, both socially and culturally, against the law enforcement community. 

Countless use-of-force incidents that were once deemed as appropriate and applauded are now being scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb, often by a politically motivated DA regardless of how clearly appropriate the use of force was. 

Take the Michael Esposito case for example. Esposito, a former K9 police officer, used his K9 against a violent suspect. His department investigated and cleared the officer. Two years later (you read that right – two years), the Fulton County DA charged Esposito with excessive use of force.

A judge recently dismissed the case but the prosecutor has appealed the decision. The case drags on even today and has cost Esposito $75k in legal fees and has turned him and his family’s life upside down. You can donate to help Esposito HERE.

This scenario has been replaying itself in recent years and is putting good, well-meaning cops who made the right decision under legal cross hairs.

It’s no wonder why many cops today are hesitant to use force, for fear of political retaliation and having their lives flipped over and their careers potentially ruined. It’s also part of the reason why crime is increasing, especially violent crime.

But Michael Letts, political analyst, LEO advocate and President/Founder of one of America’s longest running nonprofit organizations InVest USA, says there’s a simple way to reduce crime without forcing cops to work harder – close the border!

On a podcast appearance, Michael Letts discusses the issues with open borders, starting with how dangerous they are for our LEOs.

“Currently they’re [border patrol] being fired upon by the drug cartel and others on the other side of the [Rio Grande] river, trying to make sure they can get their human trafficking and drugs and terrorism across. We know this for a fact. We know that Panama has intercepted ISIS and Al Qaeda trained terrorists that have come to be a part of the migration that's coming up to the border,” Letts said.

“We know with porous borders we are getting people that are constantly, daily, coming across our borders and we're going to see a real impact in this country shortly and we have to be prepared,” he added.

Letts was exactly right.

Countless violent crimes have been occurring across America that are the direct result of migrants and the open border.

One of the most notable are recent takeovers of apartment buildings in Colorado by Venezuelan gangs who were armed and forcing their way into apartments.

The answer is simple, close and control the border to ensure America has accountability for those wishing to come in. It will lead to less crime, less lawlessness and better for the country.

“This is the greatest country in the world. But every country, in order to maintain its integrity and protect itself so that it can offer other people to come, has to have boundaries. It has to have things in place to protect the safety of its citizens, and that is what comes first, the citizens of a country should always come first,” Letts said.

He added, “So we have to do what is necessary to make sure that we protect all citizens and that means respecting law and order and putting a priority back on making sure our first responders are taken care of.”

When broken down, the formula is pretty simple - secure our borders, vet those wishing to enter legally, which will reduce crime and make the law enforcement profession easier.
