We have seen increased attacks on police as well as border agents. This is an undermining of the things that keep us safe. It is an attempt to bring anarchy to America. We need to educate our children to respect those in law enforcement. Without those who risk their lives when they go to work every day, we would have chaos in this country. We need to remember that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, CNS News posted an article about the number of border crossings in recent months.
