LETTERS, Page 4Khomeini Backlash
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 mean they
do not have human rights.
Benita J. Wolfe de Galvan
Brownsville, Texas
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.
Kurt Bechle
