Letter to the Editor

Reader refutes pastor’s letter on refugees
 
Letter to the editor:
 
     In response to a letter to the editor written by Pastor Steve Winsor on Oct. 21 and a column by Fritz Groszkruger on Nov. 4, I am worried about our country and whether we will remain a republic.
     I went to the town hall meeting hosted by Rep. Steve King that Pastor Winsor wrote about. With respect to Pastor Winsor, I thought his letter was not fair to Rep. King. It is my opinion the pastor is not informed as to what is really happening in our country. Mr. Groszkruger was right on point.
     You can recite all the Bible verses you like, but the facts are the facts, as Rep. King said. We should all fear and stand up right now to what is happening in this country. Rep. King went to Dearborn, Mich., to find the facts. The facts are many people are coming to this country and not assimilating.
     Of all the countries in the world, the United States leads in number of immigrants we let into our country to become citizens. The United States cannot survive if the people coming here do not assimilate and accept our laws and constitution. We elected Rep. King to represent us, to state the facts and make laws to keep us safe and maintain order in our lives.
     We should welcome people into our country to become citizens, but we have to compare our country to a big boat. The United States can allow only so many people across our borders or we, too, will surely sink.
     Please ask yourself: Is my business, church or house ever locked? If yes, why? Why do I not have more children? Why not 20 or 30? Do I not try to monitor my children so they choose friends wisely?
     People coming into our country to become citizens should be monitored very carefully for their principles and willingness to assimilate.
