- Prepared or not, America should treat the refugees arriving
- from Central America with dignity and compassion (NATION, Feb.
- 27). Just because these people are not U.S. citizens doesn't

- It's time to close the door. So long as there are
- unemployed or hungry and homeless Americans, we have no
- obligation to admit people from countries that overpopulate
- themselves into poverty. Some of those who claim to be refugees
- are only running away from their problems. If they want to live
- in a democracy, they should be willing to stay home and fight
- for one.
