LETTER: We should be welcoming immigrants with open arms

Are we really “the land of the free, and the home of the brave”? My mother immigrated from Canada. My next door neighbors are from China and Ethiopia, respectively. I hear fellow Americans talking about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of my country. Really?

Refugees are trudging untold miles to escape horrible oppression to apply for asylum, only to be greeted by razor wire and treated as political scapegoats. Whole families are willing to bet everything on the American Dream of freedom. Brave beyond measure, risking life itself for a chance at living that dream. Poisoning the blood? Nonsense. I want that brave family in my country. I want these brave people as my neighbors.

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
