Editorial smacks of elitism
I find your editorial titled "Don't Kill Tuition Break" offensive (Jan. 7). The fact that you would actually champion the illegal immigrants' lawless behavior and chastise those who are attempting to correct the problem mystifies me. Your attack on Rep. Glenn Donnelson is spurious and underhanded, and to accuse him of racism defies anything remotely resembling truth. As to your assertion that illegals are law abiding, estimates from law enforcement show that 62 percent of violent crime in Utah is committed by illegals. And do not forget that the river of drugs flowing across the border is almost strong enough to divert the Rio Grand.
We do not need immigration reform, what we need is enforcement of the laws we have. Your editorial smacks of liberal elitism.
