Burton has been protecting and serving our community for nearly 40 years. Burton knows how important it is to keep us safe in our homes, neighborhoods and businesses. Burton is concerned with the increase of Asian hate crime and targeting of Asian businesses and families by criminals. As a father of an Asian son, Burton has the motivation and experience necessary to address this issue.
We must get serious about this problem, or we’ll never solve it. The fact is, solving this problem starts by controlling our borders, first and foremost. I support fortifying the border with Mexico to protect Americans from drug and gang violence. A secure nation is every citizen’s right. We must always remember to treat everyone with compassion, but we cannot allow compassion to drive misguided policy.
