LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Don’t burn down the house

We are all immigrants, unless you’re a Native American.

White Christian nationalists need to get a clue. This country will never be the United States of White Christians. Which White group of immigrants would ultimately rule the nation? The Germans, French, English, Swiss? Who?

And exactly which Christian religion would finally have all the power, the Catholics, Baptists, Mormons or maybe the Episcopalians?

There would be an endless power struggle. The need to own and control everything shows a lack of self-esteem.

Degrading Black people, condemning gay people and attacking transgender people shows a lack of grace, neighborly love and self-respect.

We are blessed to live in this country and we need to see our neighbors as family, sharing the same home. This house is huge and needs all its inhabitants to work together, to keep it running smoothly. The more immigrants we have, the better it runs.

Selfishness, greed, intolerance and hate will only burn the house down.
