An important distinction

Sun., April 21, 2019

Seattle’s Mayor Jenny A. Durkan gave a stirring defense of her city’s welcome of immigrants and refugees (“Here in Seattle, we don’t fear immigrants,” April 13). She noted that “immigrants and refugees are part of Seattle’s heritage, and they will continue to make us the city of the future.”

As a citizen of Washington, we want the Evergreen City to continue as a shining light to the world. However, she forgot to note that the president wants to stop the illegal aliens penetrating U.S. borders.
