Dear Editor:

They can’t handle the truth. Finally, a president proud be an American.

He hit the nail on the head the other night, especially calling for, even demanding, we all stop, look and listen, to be grateful. The horrendous scandal in Minnesota simply mirrors what is happening now in Maine.

For a country built on legal immigration, we sure are not living up to our creed. Maybe, we have it too good here, too comfortable perhaps.

“…to the alien who comes here intending to become a citizen should be helped in every way to advance himself, should be removed from every possible disadvantage and in return should be required under penalty of being sent back to the country from which he came, to prove that he is in good faith fitting himself to be an American citizen.” --Theodore Roosevelt
