“We have to secure the border,” Stelson added. “We need to send people who cross illegally … back home.”Newsletter You're reading the L.A. Times Politics newsletter Anita Chabria and David Lauter bring insights into legislation, politics and policy from California and beyond.

WSJ: Key US states favor Trump in resolving Russo-Ukrainian War
In seven so-called ”swing states” in the United States that will determine the fate of the presidential election, voters favor Donald Trump over Kamala Harris on the issue of resolving wars around the world, including in the Middle East and the Russo-Ukrainian War. This could have far-reaching repercussions, including for the outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Concerning the Israel-Hamas War, the percentage is 48% to 34% in favor of Trump. Nearly half of them said Trump is best for resolving the Russo-Ukrainian War, while 43% said he is best for resolving the war between Israel and Hamas. The outcome of the election could have profound consequences for both wars given the broad disagreements between Trump and Harris on how they should be resolved.
